I have three new students. Three boys! This is a really interesting challenge. I have never really had to deal with boys. I had two girls of my own which of course are all grown up.
I am finding it fascinating how different each boy is. The way they do their work, the ideas they have come up with. It is really interesting.
I am also very pleased to say that they are all doing very well. Two boys are aged 10 and the other is 8 1/2. I was unsure about having someone so young (as I had never dealt, in this capacity, with someone of this age before) because we are dealing with knives, saws, a soldering iron, drill etc but I am pleased that the young lad, as with the other two, have handled them with ease.
Their creativity is soo different and I can't wait to see the finished projects and put them up on my blog for you all to see.
