Day 1 of Crane Building!
Quote of the Week "When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grows strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure." -Peter Marshall

Today we start building our cranes! At the end of last week they drew up plans on how to construct their crane. There are many ideas floating around. It will be interesting to see how they all turn out! I will try to post pictures throughout the process.
