Third graders are stepping up their game in the woodshop, using a variety of established and new skills in order to see projects from beginning to end. Recently, the students designed and created individual Hole ‘n’ a Box projects. Each student started by imagining and drawing their designs. They then got to work following those designs, choosing proper wooden materials, shaping the wooden blocks, assembling them with holes, and adding unique details. Finally, they painted each project to add personal character.
