Week 2 Reflection -2

Today we are concluding the second week of this quarter. Time flies! Yesterday, we did a very fun activity with hand planers. To be honest, I had never even heard of one before the activity. I soon found out that that they are used to smooth wood out. I think that this is the most satisfying tool ever! Seeing the wood shavings form was so cool! We experimented with a small and big hand planer but I actually preferred the bigger one. It was easier to use and more effective! We also took the role of an architect and started to design our box. It was fun but we had to be very attentive and careful. One wrong number could cause the whole box to not work. We also had to be very specific which at first, was difficult since I didn’t know exactly what I wanted my box to be like. However, later I could start and envision my box. Now that was fun! Overall this was a very fun week and I loved it!
