Mr. Larrabee
I am not giving assignments at this time, as it is difficult to continue with shop projects from home, and I don't want to burden you with additional work during the time that you are learning to do your other work online. That doesn't mean there will be nothing until you come back, it's just a break!!! As time permits and you become comfortable with the new process I will use Google Classroom to give you some simple tasks that are relevant to shop and career exploration. In the meantime, build or create anything to keep your creativity going. Examples could be, cardboard 3d, legos, a shelter/ fort in the woods, a rock cairn on the beach, and your imagination is the limit. Send pictures of your creations and I will post them to our Instagram!!! I hope you are all healthy, happy, and finding ways to stay busy. I miss you all very much and look forward to returning to the shop and all our projects!!! Call me if you need something, I can help you, or even need someone to talk to!!!
