Are they using saws?

A tiny "slice of life' from this morning at school...please check out Two Writing Teachers for lots of great writing by other teachers and writers. 







Eight children, ages three to six.
One willing parent, skilled in carpentry.
One happy teacher.

Put on safety goggles.
Feel the power!

Measure the wood.
Mark the length in pencil.
Saw the wood.
Feel the power!

Drill holes in wood.
Feel the power!

Hammer those nails.
Hammer those nails.
Hammer those nails!
Feel the power!

Awesome first morning of "intersession" week - a special week on our school calendar, which we do twice a year, where children work in mixed-age small groups on a particular theme.
