Woodworking:"The Last Hurrah"

  
The woodworkers have put down their tools and  admired their work. The children  commented that they "liked the plans" while others liked to "hammer and saw." The experience was peppered with multiple opportunities to learn. One of our trial and error experiences involved the length of the nails that were required to connect 2 pieces of wood. The wood easily splintered so the nails  had to be thin which made it challenging for the students to successfully hammer. Everyone cheerfully waited and supported their peers until it was their turn and all of us enjoyed the process.
