Christopher began the assembly of a lego kit that he received for his 9th birthday. He carefully followed the directions and did a perfect job assembling all parts in the correct location.
Christopher gave considerable thought to what his next project will be in his Industrial Arts class. Several ideas where placed on paper. Several others are still in his mind and will be sought out in the next session.
Christopher, after careful planning, decides his next learning activity in industrial arts will be some kind of time line showing both the released and upcoming release dates of Marvel movies. He found what he wanted to put on his time line on the internet and will begin next week. Christopher continues to display a wonderful creative mind for his age.
Marcos completed a balsa wood glider in class today. He carefully cut out the parts and assembled them following a store bought plane for his pattern. It has been a pleasure teaching Marcos this school year.
Danny and I set our objective to somehow calculate the height of Super Mario. After we watched a short video of Super Mario we still could not determine for certain how tall he might be. We will continue this research in a future session.
Dylan decided to make a fishing spear from the saplings wood he cut off branches from the Batt playground yard. After cutting to the proper length and sharpening the point, a fish line is tied to the opposite end. Dylan views a video on how to split the point to better spear the fish.
Dylan and I took a field trip to the Batt School playground in search of possible ideas for his next project. After a lengthy excursion, Dylan cut some leaves off three 5-6' long braches with a coping saw. Next session he will decide how these will be used.
