blocks...

I've finished four supersized Froebel blocks for the Clear Spring School playground as you can see. Four more of these will complete the set of Froebel's gift number 3. Give kids blocks and they know just what to do with them.

The elementary school students have begun a study of inventions and inventing. They used the blocks as prompts to explore their own ideas of design. A block could be a car. A block could be a house. As shown in the photo, a block could be the base for the Statue of Liberty or the stage for a dramatic and important proclamation/

I also had my first classes for the year in the Clear Spring School wood shop.

Make, fix, and create...
