Goal

Learning a new skill can open a new door for a child. Wood Shop Club provides students the opportunity to work with tools (hammers and nails) to create and build new creations each month. Students learn hand eye coordination, tool safety, and discover their ability to create things out of wood. In fostering this life skill, we build leaders who can better apply their academics to their interests. Perhaps our Wood Shop Club will foster a future builder, engineer, and more.

What will be done with my students

We would like to buy 2 sets of bird house building kits for each semseter's club. This starter project allows students to see the importance of precise cuts of the wood size as well as allows a good starting point for placing nails and hammering to create a completed project that is useful. We already have the hammers and goggles. These kits would help complete our needed materials for our club.  

 

Benefits to my students

Here at Tommie Barfield, we believe that allowing students to meet monthly to explore a leadership club of choice is part of teaching the "whole" child. Students create service projects from their new found skills. Students fill out a survey and select the club they wish to join. Choices include woodshop, yoga, sign language, crochet, spanish, and so much more. Our Wood Shop Club has become very popular. Students enjoy the loud pounding of the hammers and feeling the success of making something new from wood. Our club projects become gifts for our community. We've made firetrucks to thank our local fire fighters, construction gifts for local contractors, to name a few. Students learn a new skill and give back to their community. These bird houses, while teaching a skill, can also become a service project.  

 

Budget Narrative

2 sets of 12 bird house building kits will provide materials for an entire year of club lessons. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DR163DB9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_39?smid=AVDACOT6QT7YW&th=1
