This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

more owl... more students, too
Today in the wood shop the 3rd and 4th grade students worked on more pin wheels to be used as decorations during the Clear Spring fund raising auction in May. With the first and second grade students we continued work on kangaroos, with the children beginning to nail their pouches in place and making baby joeys to go inside. We added two new students to the lower primary grades this week, so it seems that the school is on a gradual increase in enrollment. The current national trend is for declining enrollment in independent schools, but we are doing many things right and parents notice.
My owl is again on his(or her) favorite perch.
