VIDEO: Julian describes the robot he drew

For this project, I printed out pictures of all different kinds of robots and put them on the wall for reference. Then I asked the kids to draw 5 different robots, of their own creation. Julian drew this robot and then explained to me what the robot was made of and how it would be assembled. In other words, he drew something that he'd just build in his imagination. Very cool. Julian is 10 years old

happy thanksgiving

Tie Dye Tuesday!

Most of the kids didn't know what tie dye was, so here they are watching the first 3 kids squirt the dye on the shirts. 11 kids in class today. Thanks to Susie and my husband for helping out!
