Jaden's teacher is the man at the end of the table. I think there are at least 4 helper women as well.
Let me explain why Jaden decided to take Woodworking this semester... First, since I am a teacher, my children get first dibs on the classes they want to take. I arrived the day of registration, and signed Jaden up for the 3 classes she requested: Arts and Crafts, Playground Games, and Drawing. They took my money & ran her choices through the system. Everything was fine, and I returned home. Once home, I received a call from the school director that the Arts and Crafts class was already full!!! ("But, she was already in the class", I said) Well,it turns out there was a computer glitch. The class could only take 10 kids. One of the women in front of me has 3 kids herself that got in (so, that is already 1/3 of the class!) Once I did the addition in my head, I figured that probably only the people that opened up the building on registration day were able to get their kids in the class.
I wasn't angry, but I wasn't sure what class to put Jaden in on that block. When I asked Jaden, she said Woodworking (I was thinking it would probably be too much for her). Both of the class choices were going to cost me additional money. Woodworking would only cost an additional $20. So, Woodworking it was.
Now, let me tell you what I think about it... This has been one of Jaden's favorite classes, and everything she brings home is something terrific she has made with her own hands!! She loves using a hammer, and the teacher is really patient with all of the kids. There are lots of helpers to help all of them. This thing they made this time is a marshmallow shooter! Cool!
