Tomorrow should be our last day of building! We will begin with assembling the Studio's components. Then each student will choose a roof design, draft it, and then build it.

Once the studios are built it is time for creativity! Each student will be able to personalize their studios. Students will select a theme for this process. Students will need to provide all the supplies for this part of the project. They may bring their supplies any time next week. They will need to have their supplies here by next Friday, February 5. I will send home a reminder note next week!

So sorry this is posted so late in the week!!! Last week we were able to build the floor for the studios and the two side walls. This week they have built the front and rear walls. We will not be meeting next week due to meetings I will be attending. But the following week everyone will choose their roof design, draft it, and then build it. Once the roofs are completed we will assemble the studios!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! It's tough coming back to reality, but I'm glad to be back into a routine!

This quarter we are going to use the designing and engineering process to create a studio! Students will choose from three different floor plans. They will build it based on the plan they choose, then once it is built they will be able to decorate it to suit their personality! Our studios will be built out of dowel rods. This week I'm hoping after the project is introduced and floor plans are chosen, we can construct the floor and possibly the side walls.

The Road Trip Adventure was a great experience! Students were able to increase their computer skills and see what it is like to plan a real vacation. Most students were able to visit at least six attractions! Below is a map of all the attractions they visited!
