Hammer in one hand and a tiny nail in the other, Mount Madonna School fourth grader Sofia Brevis used her fingers to nimbly position the nail’s sharp tip along the edge of the ‘roof’ piece she was attaching to a small wooden house. Her mother sat alongside and held the house base steady as her daughter hammered that nail – and then 3 more – all the way in.
Around the classroom, other fourth graders, assisted by parent volunteers and fourth grade teacher Linda Pope – are engaged and building too – a pleasant rhythm of hammers, nails and wood – as 13 little houses are constructed.
