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.

The blue whale rides again
Today we had a gap in the weather long enough for a second launching of the Blue Whale. This time, the 1st through 6th grade Clear Spring School students had a chance to go out and enjoy being on the lake in a boat we made ourselves in wood shop. for more details on the boat, and to see photographs of various stages of construction, type the word boat in the search box at upper left.
Those kids will never forget that boat ride, or what led up to it.
