209 Builds "the City"

We have decided to build a city using the wood and other materials. Today we began construction. Two students are sawing wooden rods and drilling holes in them to create telephone poles. They are going to then run wires between them and attach lights using electricity. 

Building in 209

We are about to start work on a special building project. Can't wait to see the models that students make with all of these great materials!
