Home Depot Field Trip
Yesterday we headed off to the Home Depot for a field trip to get some prices on our lumber and other materials for the sandbox project. Thank you to Fred Meyer and Jaime DeLong for coming with me.
Fred did an AWESOME job of helping the kids understand the different things we were going to need and how we would construct it. He even created little examples in the aisle of Home Depot.

It was exciting to see our brainstorming and ideas starting to come together.
From her we went to the place where we would most likely get our sand and they showed us where it was an gave us a visual of how much we would need. Sam has calculated the volume of the box as 10 cubic yards. Their "little" dump truck holds 6 so we will need a full one and a partial. It is a LOT of sand.
Today in class a group of students spent some time calculating the total cost of the wood. They are preparing ideas for their presentation to the Board in a few weeks.
Thanks for your support on this project.
