Friday

Off to a great start :)


Is everyone ready to get their hands dirty?  After Attendance we will move into the clayroom to begin getting our clay ready to build our first construction.

Your goal today is to learn to wedge clay and why it is so important to the entire process of building with clay.

Continue to work on the guided reading.
