Veneered boxes day 4

Today we will have a small exhibit of my ESSA student's boxes, including the one almost finished and shown above. I will take Danish oil and rags to school today so that student work can be finished prior to the show.

You are welcome to attend. The address is 374 Dairy Hollow Road, Eureka Springs, AR 72632 and the time from 4 PM to 5:30.

Next week I attend meetings with the Clear Spring School staff to prepare for our new school year.

It is extremely interesting to read what others have in mind for the future of education. Most educators have questions about how we can cover and measure the full breadth of knowledge.

Successful students on the other hand, seem to emerge from going deep and doing things that are real.

Make, fix, create, and offer others at least a chance to learn likewise.

    you write:
    "Successful students on the other hand, seem to emerge from going deep and doing things that are real."
    Where do you get this from? Is there literature about it? Is it a "common sense" in particular circles of teachers?
    All in all it is not really necessary to proof the fact of being sucessful - who will measure what it means to be sucessfull... No, what I am more interested in, is:
    What do kids/adults need to be interested in learning? And in the best way: Not to harm but to serve others and take care of themselves.
