The curiosity of a child is a wonderful thing! The children completed their research reports on rainforest animals as we finished our unit of study this week. While the rainforest is very interesting, we found something else to occupy every free moment we had this week. Armed with screwdrivers and wrenches, the children took apart a downdraft system, 2 telephones, a fan, a computer and a pencil sharpener. The room was quiet and peaceful as the children worked together to loosen the screws and pull apart the appliances. Every once in a while you could hear requests for wire cutters (my job), electrical manuals and even a call for a mechanic! Several of the children thought maybe we could make an air hockey game or a flat screen TV out of the bits and pieces we salvaged. By the time we dismissed for the day, many of the pieces went home with the kids. So much for our new TV!
