Kids' Carpentry is an ongoing after school program designed especially for boys and girls, kindergarten through sixth grade. The safe use of hand tools is emphasized while kids work together on boats, trucks, bird feeders, clocks, doll furniture, airplanes, games, and many other projects. In addition to the fun these kids have they also gain quality experiences in measuring, applied mathematics such as fractions, and hands on experience with a variety of carpentry tools. By visualizing, planning, and building projects children develop valuable abstract reasoning capabilities and fine motor skills. Children can select from a wide range of project choices supplied by the teacher and are also encouraged to design and build based on their own needs and imagination. Carpentry classes are taught with one-two teachers for every seven to ten students, ensuring careful attention and respect for each child.
