Woodworking in school is a collaborative exercise and fun for all. It's socialistic in that it fits the formula, "from each according to ability, to each according to need." My own need is to be creatively stimulated and working out a means through which the trees could be safely turned on the lathe was my reward, in addition to seeing the kids so excited in their work.
We all need the opportunity to be creatively engaged making gifts to share with others. The Christmas tree will likely be kept by our student's families for years to come.
In addition to decorating their trees, the students decided to draw presents under each as you can see.
Make, fix and create...
