Fort Building

For the past two weeks we have been building a fort in the Cottonwood trees behind the Charter school.  The kids worked very hard to contruct sturdy roofs and to thatch them with grass.  I really enjoyed listening to the conversations that were inspired by this project.  Many of the conversations focused on the basics of survival:  hunting, fire, water and shelter.  James and Lexi wanted me to add that the fort means a lot to them and they have worked very hard on it!
