I'm making a drink. It's a potion. If I see a bad guy I'm gonna make him drink this.
​- Finlay
Finlay used a more unconventional tool for his intentional creation; a pipe fitting, which he then filled with clay and closed off with a glass marble.

I'm making a road to the castle. 
- Cape
(Referring to Michael's castle)
Cape used different kind of loop tools to slice of thin and long pieces from the block of clay. He then flattened them with his hand and connected them by squeezing the clay with his thumb. He then used a modeling tool to add textures to it.

I'm just writing James's name.
- Bea


Who is James? - Cape

That's my brother.
​ - Bea
Bea used a sgraffito tool to draw and write, noticing differences in marks when using more or less pressure. She wrote a message to her brother, James: "For James. I love you." (first photo) And she drew a sun (second photo).

Today's Mystery Reader, Lucas' mom Megan, had us moving while reading the fantastic book "I am the Jungle - A Yoga Adventure" by Melissa Hurt. On our journey through the jungle we stretched, balanced and breathed deeply. What an adventure! Megan also read the book "Bear's New Friend" by Karma Wilson. Thank you, Megan!
