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.

boxes and boxes
This morning in the CSS woodshop, 4th, 5th and 6th grade students will begin making small tackle boxes for their fall campout in response to a request from their teacher. Wish us luck. Making a small box is not all that easy for children. In the 10th, 11th and 12th grades, students will also begin making boxes, but these will be done with matt board and fabric, and today they will just begin the design work, building models from folded paper. I've attached photos of my own pryamidal prototype.
On another subject, I have completed the award bases for the Arkansas Governor's Award for Quality. You can see an image of the finished award at Arkansas-Quality.org.
