Today, after Morning Work time and a very short Morning Meeting, we had some more project time. We finihsed it all up, and, yes, it's still a bit of a secret. We worked hard, and the kids did some really nice work, I think. After that, we cleaned up and went outside to the baseball diamond behind the school, as Mr. Fairbanks (the art teacher) had made an open invitation to the whole school to come outside and see a guest artist from Augsburg College do some pottery firing. he was using a technique called Raku, which is from Japan. For more information on it, click here or here. We got to see the finished product from one of the firings, and we also got to see them put some more pottery into a special super-high temperature kiln. We'll see he rest of the finished products next week, I think.

After the mini-art demonstration, we headed up to the computer lab for our time there. When we got back down to our room, we had a short end-of-the-week Choice Time. Then, it was time to head on home - enjoy your weekend!!!!
