I just had to share these images with our friends and families.  I wish you could have heard their conversation as the girls were talking about their work.

Aaliyah is working with the metal insets.  Tracing the rectangle requires focus and concentration and helps to prepare her hand for writing by strengthening her finger muscles.  Anisley's hammering improves gross motor coordination, concentration and hand eye coordination.  The two girls working together in the class's courtyard area is conducive to collaboration and sharing. - Peace Education.

The essential thing is to arouse such an interest that it engages the child’s whole personality.
