The new Tools of the Trades will be opening soon. Distance Learning has been very difficult for a lot of my special needs students and these tools will help them achieve math, science, career readiness, collaboration and self-empowerment skills. They will be learning shop safety issues, tool identification and use, material/fastener types and uses as well as being involved in creative processes. The big picture projects of the catapult challenge, a storage shed, mini golf course and helping the Theatre with set design will be our in house projects. We have already reached out with community groups to help repair fences/general light maintenance, build bird feeders and to build garden boxes for seniors in the community. There will be visits from various trade professionals to expose my students to the great career options available for those who don't feel college is right for them.
