Filing	
  the	
  Edges

  My	
  Whale’s	
  Body	
  
May

  2011	
  
	
  
What	
  I	
  did:	
  
	
  
                                  	
  
                                                                    <-­-­	
  Using	
  a	
  half-­round	
  file	
  to	
  round	
  out	
  my	
  
                                                       whale’s	
  body	
                   	
  
                                                                    	
  
                                                                    Today	
  I	
  got	
  a	
  lot	
  done	
  because	
  we	
  had	
  two	
  
                                                       periods.	
  First,	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  on	
  to	
  protect	
  me	
  
                                                       from	
  sharp	
  edges	
  and	
  to	
  protect	
  my	
  clothes	
  from	
  
                                                       dust.	
  I	
  also	
  made	
  sure	
  to	
  put	
  my	
  hair	
  up	
  so	
  it	
  didn’t	
  
                                                       get	
  chopped	
  off	
  or	
  caught	
  in	
  anything.	
  I	
  didn’t	
  put	
  
on	
  my	
  safety	
  goggles	
  yet	
  because	
  I	
  wasn’t	
  
using	
  a	
  drill	
  or	
  anything	
  that	
  shed	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  dust	
  
in	
  the	
  air	
  so	
  I	
  thought	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  me	
  as	
  
much.	
  I	
  also	
  made	
  sure	
  I	
  was	
  wearing	
  closed	
  
toed	
  shoes	
  so	
  if	
  I	
  dropped	
  anything	
  heavy	
  or	
  a	
  
sharp	
  objects	
  on	
  my	
  feet,	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  me	
  
that	
  badly.	
  	
  	
  	
  	
  
Using	
  a	
  round	
  file	
  to	
  get	
  rid	
  of	
  the	
  uneven	
  
edges	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  whale’s	
  waterspout	
  -­>	
  
             I	
  took	
  my	
  whale	
  out	
  of	
  the	
  grade	
  8	
  
moving	
  toy	
  box.	
  I	
  examined	
  the	
  toy	
  to	
  see	
  what	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  do	
  next.	
  I	
  had	
  gotten	
  all	
  
of	
  the	
  big	
  or	
  large	
  spaces	
  that	
  needed	
  filing.	
  I	
  now	
  had	
  to	
  do	
  the	
  really	
  hard	
  part.	
  	
  
                                            	
  
                                             	
  Using	
  a	
  small	
  half-­round	
  file	
  to	
  really	
  round	
  out	
  
                                            the	
  small,	
  awkward	
  spaces	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  waterspout	
  
                                                       I	
  had	
  to	
  file	
  the	
  tiny	
  and	
  awkward	
  spaces	
  in	
  
                                            between	
  the	
  spout.	
  In	
  order	
  to	
  get	
  to	
  those	
  hard	
  to	
  get	
  
                                            areas,	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  spend	
  
                                            almost	
  the	
  whole	
  two	
  
                                            periods	
  filing	
  in	
  different	
  
                                            angles,	
  places,	
  and	
  with	
  
multiple	
  different	
  files.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  miniature	
  file	
  to	
  
really	
  get	
  in	
  the	
  small	
  places.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  small	
  flat-­‐
head	
  file	
  to	
  get	
  the	
  hard	
  to	
  get	
  edges.	
  	
  
	
  
Using	
  a	
  small	
  flat-­head	
  file	
  to	
  file	
  in	
  
between	
  water	
  spout	
  and	
  on	
  top	
  of	
  it	
  
too.	
  	
   	
           	
       	
            	
      	
  
 
           I	
  also	
  used	
  a	
  round	
  file	
  to	
  get	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  spaces	
  and	
  smooth	
  out	
  the	
  
inside	
  of	
  the	
  spaces.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  regular	
  half-­‐round	
  file	
  on	
  and	
  off	
  to	
  get	
  
                                                        some	
  extra	
  edges	
  I	
  missed.	
  	
  
                                                         	
  I	
  rolled	
  up	
  sanding	
  paper	
  and	
  used	
  it	
  to	
  
                                                        sand	
  off	
  some	
  of	
  the	
  hard	
  to	
  reach	
  sharp	
  edges.	
  
                                                                     	
  
                                                                     There	
  was	
  one	
  section	
  on	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  tails	
  
                                                        fins	
  that	
  was	
  uneven	
  and	
  jagged.	
  Not	
  only	
  did	
  it	
  
                                                        look	
  ugly	
  but	
  also	
  it	
  was	
  also	
  unsafe	
  for	
  children.	
  
                                                        I	
  spent	
  at	
  least	
  thirty	
  minutes	
  trying	
  to	
  even	
  it	
  
                                                        out	
  with	
  a	
  small	
  flat-­‐head	
  file.	
  It	
  took	
  a	
  long	
  time,	
  
                                                        but	
  I	
  got	
  it	
  done.	
  Towards	
  the	
  end	
  of	
  the	
  lesson,	
  
when	
  I	
  was	
  almost	
  done,	
  I	
  pulled	
  started	
  using	
  the	
  half-­‐round	
  file	
  at	
  different	
  
angles	
  to	
  get	
  those	
  edges	
  smooth.	
  The	
  last	
  thing	
  I	
  did	
  was	
  start	
  making	
  my	
  off	
  
center	
  wheels.	
  I	
  positioned	
  the	
  wheel	
  in	
  a	
  drill	
  vice	
  tight	
  so	
  it	
  doesn’t	
  fly	
  out.	
  I	
  
put	
  my	
  safety	
  glasses	
  on	
  to	
  ensure	
  my	
  
eyes	
  were	
  safe	
  from	
  all	
  dust.	
  Although,	
  I	
  
barley	
  got	
  to	
  drill	
  anything	
  when	
  we	
  
had	
  to	
  pack	
  up.	
  	
  
	
  
Using	
  a	
  pedestal	
  drill	
  to	
  drill	
  the	
  off	
  
center	
  hole	
  in	
  my	
  wheel.	
   	
  
           	
  
           After	
  this,	
  the	
  period	
  had	
  ended,	
  
and	
  it	
  was	
  time	
  to	
  pack	
  up.	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  
apron	
  away	
  and	
  put	
  up	
  my	
  tools.	
  I	
  then	
  re-­‐wrote	
  my	
  name	
  on	
  my	
  piece	
  of	
  wood	
  
and	
  put	
  I	
  tin	
  the	
  Grade	
  8	
  Moving	
  Toy	
  project	
  box.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  cleaned	
  up	
  my	
  
station	
  and	
  made	
  sure	
  everything	
  was	
  in	
  order.	
  	
  
           	
  
	
  
Why?	
  
	
  
	
           I	
  used	
  a	
  tiny	
  half-­‐round	
  file	
  because	
  I	
  needed	
  to	
  round	
  and	
  smooth	
  out	
  the	
  
spaces	
  of	
  my	
  whale	
  that	
  a	
  normal	
  half-­‐round	
  file	
  can’t	
  get	
  to.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  larger	
  flat-­‐
head	
  file	
  to	
  flatten	
  the	
  area	
  on	
  a	
  tail	
  fin	
  that	
  was	
  jagged	
  and	
  rough.	
  I	
  did	
  this	
  
because	
  the	
  edge	
  was	
  not	
  very	
  pretty	
  and	
  it	
  was	
  sharp,	
  therefore	
  making	
  it	
  
unsafe	
  for	
  children.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  round	
  file	
  to	
  smooth	
  out	
  the	
  surface	
  and	
  any	
  extra	
  
jagged	
  edges	
  inside	
  the	
  tight	
  spaces	
  of	
  my	
  whales	
  spout.	
  I	
  also	
  used	
  a	
  half-­‐round	
  
file	
  to	
  get	
  rid	
  of	
  any	
  extra	
  or	
  accessible	
  sharp	
  edges.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  pedestal	
  
drill	
  to	
  drill	
  the	
  second	
  of	
  center	
  hole	
  in	
  my	
  whale’s	
  wheels.	
  I	
  need	
  off	
  center	
  
wheels	
  to	
  give	
  the	
  illusion	
  my	
  whale	
  is	
  swimming	
  when	
  moving.	
  	
  
	
  
 
What’s	
  Next?	
  
	
  
	
   Next	
  lesson,	
  I’m	
  going	
  to	
  finish	
  or	
  almost	
  get	
  my	
  off	
  center	
  wheels	
  done.	
  
Because	
  I’m	
  not	
  sure	
  if	
  I	
  did	
  the	
  first	
  one	
  correctly,	
  (I’m	
  hoping	
  I	
  don’t	
  have	
  to	
  
but)	
  I	
  think	
  I	
  might	
  have	
  to	
  make	
  another	
  one	
  otherwise.	
  The	
  off	
  center	
  wheels	
  
could	
  take	
  me	
  all	
  next	
  period	
  or	
  they	
  could	
  take	
  me	
  just	
  a	
  fraction	
  of	
  it.	
  
Regardless	
  though,	
  I	
  have	
  to	
  finish	
  the	
  wheels	
  sand	
  the	
  body;	
  drill	
  the	
  wheels	
  
and	
  then	
  paint.	
  	
  
	
  
Emotion:	
  
	
  
	
       I	
  felt	
  really	
  good	
  about	
  today’s	
  lesson	
  because	
  I	
  finished	
  all	
  of	
  my	
  filing.	
  
This	
  means	
  that	
  the	
  really	
  hard	
  work	
  is	
  done.	
  I	
  don’t	
  have	
  to	
  worry	
  about	
  not	
  
finishing	
  on	
  time	
  or	
  being	
  behind	
  because	
  I’m	
  doing	
  really	
  well.	
  I	
  think	
  I	
  did	
  a	
  
pretty	
  good	
  job	
  and	
  I	
  look	
  forward	
  to	
  making	
  the	
  wheels	
  and	
  painting	
  it!	
  
	
  
	
  
AOI

  Learner	
  Profile	
  
	
  
I	
  was	
  knowledgeable	
  because	
  I	
  used	
  the	
  past	
  experience	
  I	
  had	
  with	
  rounding	
  
edges	
  with	
  a	
  half-­‐round	
  file	
  from	
  my	
  previous	
  lessons.

  We	
  are	
  re-­‐using	
  wood

  using	
  small	
  pieces

  we	
  don’t	
  have	
  to

What	
  I	
  did:	
  
	
  
                                  	
  
                                                                    <-­-­

  I	
  got	
  a	
  lot	
  done	
  because	
  we	
  had	
  two	
  
                                                       periods.	
  First,	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  on	
  to	
  protect	
  me	
  
                                                       from	
  sharp	
  edges	
  and	
  to	
  protect	
  my	
  clothes	
  from	
  
                                                       dust.	
  I	
  also	
  made	
  sure	
  to	
  put	
  my	
  hair	
  up	
  so	
  it	
  didn’t	
  
                                                       get	
  chopped	
  off	
  or	
  caught	
  in	
  anything.	
  I	
  didn’t	
  put	
  
on	
  my	
  safety	
  goggles	
  yet	
  because	
  I	
  wasn’t	
  
using	
  a	
  drill	
  or	
  anything	
  that	
  shed	
  a

  of	
  dust	
  
in	
  the	
  air	
  so	
  I	
  thought	
  it	
  wouldn’t

  so	
  if	
  I	
  dropped	
  anything	
  heavy	
  or	
  a	
  
sharp	
  objects	
  on	
  my	
  feet,	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  me	
  
that	
  badly.	
  	
  	
  	
  	
  
Using	
  a	
  round	
  file	
  to	
  get	
  rid	
  of	
  the	
  uneven	
  
edges	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  whale’s	
  waterspout	
  -­>	
  
             I	
  took	
  my	
  whale	
  out	
  of	
  the	
  grade	
  8	
  
moving	
  toy	
  box.	
  I	
  examined	
  the	
  toy	
  to	
  see	
  what	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  do	
  next.	
  I	
  had	
  gotten	
  all	
  
of	
  the	
  big	
  or	
  large	
  spaces	
  that	
  needed	
  filing.	
  I	
  now	
  had	
  to	
  do	
  the	
  really	
  hard	
  part.	
  	
  
                                            	
  
                                             	
  Using	
  a	
  small	
  half-­round	
  file	
  to	
  really	
  round	
  out	
  
                                            the	
  small,	
  awkward	
  spaces	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  waterspout	
  
                                                       I	
  had	
  to	
  file	
  the	
  tiny	
  and	
  awkward	
  spaces	
  in	
  
                                            between	
  the	
  spout.	
  In	
  order	
  to	
  get	
  to	
  those	
  hard	
  to	
  get	
  
                                            areas,	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  spend	
  
                                            almost	
  the	
  whole	
  two	
  
                                            periods	
  filing	
  in	
  different	
  
                                            angles,	
  places,	
  and	
  with	
  
multiple	
  different	
  files.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  miniature	
  file	
  to	
  
really	
  get	
  in	
  the	
  small	
  places.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  small	
  flat-­‐
head	
  file	
  to	
  get	
  the	
  hard	
  to	
  get	
  edges.	
  	
  
	
  
Using	
  a	
  small	
  flat-­head	
  file	
  to	
  file	
  in	
  
between	
  water	
  spout	
  and	
  on	
  top	
  of	
  it	
  
too.	
  	
   	
           	
       	
            	
      	
  
 
           I	
  also	
  used	
  a	
  round	
  file	
  to	
  get	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  spaces	
  and	
  smooth	
  out	
  the	
  
inside	
  of	
  the	
  spaces.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  regular	
  half-­‐round	
  file	
  on	
  and	
  off	
  to	
  get	
  
                                                        some	
  extra	
  edges	
  I	
  missed.	
  	
  
                                                         	
  I	
  rolled	
  up	
  sanding	
  paper	
  and	
  used	
  it	
  to	
  
                                                        sand	
  off	
  some	
  of	
  the	
  hard	
  to	
  reach	
  sharp	
  edges.	
  
                                                                     	
  
                                                                     There	
  was	
  one	
  section	
  on	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  tails	
  
                                                        fins	
  that	
  was	
  uneven	
  and	
  jagged.	
  Not	
  only	
  did	
  it	
  
                                                        look	
  ugly	
  but	
  also	
  it	
  was	
  also	
  unsafe	
  for	
  children.	
  
                                                        I	
  spent	
  at	
  least	
  thirty	
  minutes	
  trying	
  to	
  even	
  it	
  
                                                        out	
  with	
  a	
  small	
  flat-­‐head	
  file.	
  It	
  took	
  a	
  long	
  time,	
  
                                                        but	
  I	
  got	
  it	
  done.	
  Towards	
  the	
  end	
  of	
  the	
  lesson,	
  
when	
  I	
  was	
  almost	
  done,	
  I	
  pulled	
  started	
  using	
  the	
  half-­‐round	
  file	
  at	
  different	
  
angles	
  to	
  get	
  those	
  edges	
  smooth.	
  The	
  last	
  thing	
  I	
  did	
  was	
  start	
  making	
  my	
  off	
  
center	
  wheels.	
  I	
  positioned	
  the	
  wheel	
  in	
  a	
  drill	
  vice	
  tight	
  so	
  it	
  doesn’t	
  fly	
  out.	
  I	
  
put	
  my	
  safety	
  glasses	
  on	
  to	
  ensure	
  my	
  
eyes	
  were	
  safe	
  from	
  all	
  dust.	
  Although,	
  I	
  
barley	
  got	
  to	
  drill	
  anything	
  when	
  we	
  
had	
  to	
  pack	
  up.	
  	
  
	
  
Using	
  a	
  pedestal	
  drill	
  to	
  drill	
  the	
  off	
  
center	
  hole	
  in	
  my	
  wheel.	
   	
  
           	
  
           After	
  this,	
  the	
  period	
  had	
  ended,	
  
and	
  it	
  was	
  time	
  to	
  pack	
  up.	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  
apron	
  away	
  and	
  put	
  up	
  my	
  tools.	
  I	
  then	
  re-­‐wrote	
  my	
  name	
  on	
  my	
  piece	
  of	
  wood	
  
and	
  put	
  I	
  tin	
  the	
  Grade	
  8	
  Moving	
  Toy	
  project	
  box.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  cleaned	
  up	
  my	
  
station	
  and	
  made	
  sure	
  everything	
  was	
  in	
  order.	
  	
  
           	
  
	
  
Why?	
  
	
  
	
           I	
  used	
  a	
  tiny	
  half-­‐round	
  file	
  because	
  I	
  needed	
  to	
  round	
  and	
  smooth	
  out	
  the	
  
spaces	
  of	
  my	
  whale	
  that	
  a	
  normal	
  half-­‐round	
  file	
  can’t	
  get	
  to.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  larger	
  flat-­‐
head	
  file	
  to	
  flatten	
  the	
  area	
  on	
  a	
  tail	
  fin	
  that	
  was	
  jagged	
  and	
  rough.	
  I	
  did	
  this	
  
because	
  the	
  edge	
  was	
  not	
  very	
  pretty	
  and	
  it	
  was	
  sharp,	
  therefore	
  making	
  it	
  
unsafe	
  for	
  children.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  round	
  file	
  to	
  smooth	
  out	
  the	
  surface	
  and	
  any	
  extra	
  
jagged	
  edges	
  inside	
  the	
  tight	
  spaces	
  of	
  my	
  whales	
  spout.	
  I	
  also	
  used	
  a	
  half-­‐round	
  
file	
  to	
  get	
  rid	
  of	
  any	
  extra	
  or	
  accessible	
  sharp	
  edges.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  pedestal	
  
drill	
  to	
  drill	
  the	
  second	
  of	
  center	
  hole	
  in	
  my	
  whale’s	
  wheels.	
  I	
  need	
  off	
  center	
  
wheels	
  to	
  give	
  the	
  illusion	
  my	
  whale	
  is	
  swimming	
  when	
  moving.	
  	
  
	
  
 
What’s	
  Next?	
  
	
  
	
   Next	
  lesson,	
  I’m	
  going	
  to	
  finish	
  or	
  almost	
  get	
  my	
  off	
  center	
  wheels	
  done.	
  
Because	
  I’m	
  not	
  sure	
  if	
  I	
  did	
  the	
  first	
  one	
  correctly,	
  (I’m	
  hoping	
  I	
  don’t	
  have	
  to	
  
but)	
  I	
  think	
  I	
  might	
  have	
  to	
  make	
  another	
  one	
  otherwise.	
  The	
  off	
  center	
  wheels	
  
could	
  take	
  me	
  all	
  next	
  period	
  or	
  they	
  could	
  take	
  me	
  just	
  a	
  fraction	
  of	
  it.	
  
Regardless	
  though,	
  I	
  have	
  to	
  finish	
  the	
  wheels	
  sand	
  the	
  body;	
  drill	
  the	
  wheels	
  
and	
  then	
  paint.	
  	
  
	
  
Emotion:	
  
	
  
	
       I	
  felt	
  really	
  good	
  about	
  today’s	
  lesson	
  because	
  I	
  finished	
  all	
  of	
  my	
  filing.	
  
This	
  means	
  that	
  the	
  really	
  hard	
  work	
  is	
  done.	
  I	
  don’t	
  have	
  to	
  worry	
  about	
  not	
  
finishing	
  on	
  time	
  or	
  being	
  behind	
  because	
  I’m	
  doing	
  really	
  well.	
  I	
  think	
  I	
  did	
  a	
  
pretty	
  good	
  job	
  and	
  I	
  look	
  forward	
  to	
  making	
  the	
  wheels	
  and	
  painting	
  it!

  Sanding

What	
  I	
  did:	
  
	
  
          Today	
  I	
  got	
  a	
  lot	
  done.	
  First,	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  on	
  to	
  protect	
  me	
  from	
  sharp	
  
                                                  edges	
  and	
  to	
  protect	
  my	
  clothes	
  from	
  dust.	
  I	
  also	
  
                                                  made	
  sure	
  to	
  put	
  my	
  hair	
  up	
  so	
  it	
  didn’t	
  get	
  chopped	
  
                                                  off	
  or	
  caught	
  in	
  anything.	
  I	
  didn’t	
  put	
  on	
  my	
  safety	
  
                                                  goggles	
  yet	
  because	
  I	
  wasn’t	
  using	
  a	
  drill	
  or	
  anything	
  
                                                  that	
  shed	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  dust	
  in	
  the	
  air	
  so	
  I	
  thought	
  it	
  
                                                  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  me	
  as	
  much.	
  	
  
                                                   Drilling	
  the	
  holes	
  in	
  my	
  whale’s	
  body	
  where	
  the	
  
                                                                wheels	
  will	
  go.	
  	
  
                                                                              I	
  also	
  made	
  sure	
  I	
  was	
  wearing	
  closed	
  
                                                                toed	
  shoes	
  so	
  if	
  I	
  dropped	
  anything	
  heavy	
  or	
  
                                                                a	
  sharp	
  objects	
  on	
  my	
  feet,	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  
                                                                me	
  that	
  badly.	
  	
  	
  
                                                                              First	
  I	
  pulled	
  out	
  my	
  wheels	
  and	
  
                                                                examined	
  them.	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  drill	
  the	
  actual	
  holes	
  
                                                                into	
  my	
  whale’s	
  body	
  and	
  then	
  test	
  the	
  wheel	
  
                                                                and	
  axles	
  together.	
  So	
  I	
  got	
  out	
  my	
  whale	
  and	
  
                                                                put	
  the	
  wheel	
  on	
  to	
  see	
  where	
  the	
  hole	
  should	
  
be	
  drilled.	
  I	
  was	
  careful	
  not	
  to	
  mark	
  the	
  area	
  to	
  far	
  from	
  the	
  edge	
  because	
  when	
  
the	
  off	
  center	
  wheel	
  moves,	
  it	
  might	
  
not	
  roll	
  correctly.	
  When	
  I	
  found	
  the	
  
right	
  location	
  for	
  the	
  drilling,	
  I	
  
marked	
  it	
  out	
  with	
  a	
  pencil	
  and	
  
placed	
  it	
  under	
  the	
  drill.	
  I	
  also	
  
measure	
  the	
  length	
  of	
  the	
  marked	
  
out	
  location	
  so	
  I	
  could	
  make	
  it	
  
identical	
  on	
  the	
  other	
  side	
  as	
  well.	
  
The	
  first	
  time	
  I	
  lowered	
  the	
  drill,	
  I	
  
drilled	
  only	
  a	
  little	
  on	
  the	
  surface	
  to	
  
make	
  sure	
  it	
  was	
  in	
  place.	
  	
  
Using	
  a	
  wooden	
  mallet	
  and	
  glue	
  to	
  
hit	
  the	
  axle	
  in	
  my	
  wheel.	
  Then	
  using	
  a	
  
wet	
  cloth	
  to	
  get	
  the	
  extra	
  glue	
  off	
  	
  	
  -­-­>	
  
I	
  drilled	
  all	
  the	
  way	
  through	
  this	
  time.	
  I	
  continued	
  to	
  do	
  this	
  again.	
  	
  
	
         Once	
  I	
  was	
  done	
  with	
  that,	
  I	
  needed	
  to	
  glue	
  and	
  hammer	
  in	
  my	
  axles	
  to	
  my	
  
wheels.	
  I	
  picked	
  up	
  my	
  off	
  center	
  wheel	
  first	
  and	
  put	
  the	
  glue	
  on	
  the	
  edge	
  and	
  a	
  
bit	
  on	
  the	
  inside.	
  I	
  put	
  in	
  the	
  axel	
  and	
  used	
  the	
  wooden	
  mallet	
  to	
  make	
  sure	
  the	
  
axel	
  was	
  in	
  the	
  wheel	
  and	
  stayed.	
  I	
  then	
  used	
  a	
  wet	
  cloth	
  to	
  clean	
  off	
  any	
  
unnecessary	
  glue.	
  I	
  tested	
  to

           I	
  needed	
  my	
  wheel’s	
  set	
  so	
  I	
  continued	
  
                                                                 to	
  sand	
  my	
  whale’s	
  body.	
  This	
  really	
  took	
  up	
  
                                                                 the	
  rest	
  of	
  the	
  period.	
  I	
  continued	
  to

  all	
  
                                                                 the	
  rough	
  areas	
  that	
  were	
  easy	
  to	
  get	
  to.	
  I	
  
                                                                 used	
  a	
  sanding	
  block	
  with	
  sanding	
  paper	
  for	
  
                                                                 it.	
  	
  
                                                                  Using	
  a	
  sanding	
  block	
  and	
  sanding	
  
                                                                 paper	
  to	
  smooth	
  out	
  all	
  rough

  and	
  
                                                                 surfaces	
  of	
  my	
  whale.	
  	
  
                                                                 	
  
                                                       Throughout	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  the	
  period,	
  I	
  sanded	
  the	
  
                                                       whole	
  whale’s	
  body.	
  I	
  even	
  got	
  the	
  hard	
  to	
  reach	
  
                                                       places	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  spout	
  and	
  tail	
  with	
  just	
  sand	
  
                                                       paper	
  and	
  not	
  the	
  sanding	
  block.	
  	
  
                                                                 After	
  this,	
  the	
  period	
  had	
  ended,	
  and	
  it	
  was	
  
                                                       time	
  to	
  pack	
  up.	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  away	
  and	
  put	
  up	
  
                                                       my	
  tools.	
  I	
  then	
  re-­‐wrote	
  my	
  name	
  on	
  my	
  piece	
  of	
  
                                                       wood	
  and	
  put	
  I	
  tin	
  the	
  Grade	
  8	
  Moving	
  Toy	
  project	
  
box.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  cleaned	
  up	
  my	
  station	
  and	
  made	
  sure	
  everything	
  was	
  in	
  order.	
  	
  
	
  
Why?	
  
	
  
          I	
  used	
  a	
  large	
  drill	
  to	
  drill	
  in	
  the	
  holes	
  in	
  my	
  whale’s	
  body	
  because	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  
make	
  the	
  holes	
  in	
  wheels	
  bigger	
  because	
  I	
  drilled	
  all	
  the	
  way	
  through.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  
wooden	
  mallet	
  to	
  hammer	
  in	
  the	
  axels	
  into	
  my	
  wheels	
  because	
  I	
  didn’t	
  think	
  
that	
  just	
  glue	
  and	
  a	
  hard	
  push	
  would	
  have	
  been	
  enough	
  to	
  keep	
  the	
  axle	
  in	
  the	
  
wheel.	
  I	
  used	
  a	
  sanding	
  block	
  to	
  sand	
  the	
  large	
  parts	
  because	
  it	
  gets	
  more	
  
surface,	
  but	
  I	
  used	
  just	
  the	
  paper	
  to	
  get	
  the	
  tight	
  part	
  because	
  I	
  can	
  bend	
  it.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
What’s	
  Next?	
  
	
  
	
        Next	
  class,	
  I	
  will	
  continue	
  sanding	
  until	
  I	
  don’t	
  need	
  to.	
  	
  I	
  think	
  I	
  can	
  get	
  
done	
  with	
  all	
  the	
  sanding	
  in	
  a	
  period	
  and	
  I	
  can	
  start	
  the	
  painting.	
  I	
  will	
  have	
  to	
  
paint	
  in	
  more	
  than	
  one	
  coat	
  and	
  shades,	
  so	
  I	
  probably	
  won’t	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  finish	
  
that	
  either.	
  But,	
  I’m	
  pretty	
  sure	
  that	
  I	
  can	
  get	
  the	
  sanding	
  done	
  and	
  I	
  can	
  begin	
  
the	
  painting.	
  I	
  also	
  have	
  to	
  paint	
  and	
  insert	
  the	
  wheels.	
  But	
  I	
  look	
  forward	
  to	
  the	
  
rest!	
  
	
  
Emotion	
  
	
  
	
        I	
  felt	
  very	
  good	
  about	
  today’s	
  lesson.	
  I	
  felt	
  I	
  took	
  a	
  very	
  big	
  step	
  by	
  
finishing	
  my	
  wheel’s	
  and	
  almost	
  finishing	
  my	
  sanding.	
  I’m	
  really	
  excited	
  that	
  I’m	
  
close	
  to	
  being	
  done	
  and	
  I	
  look	
  forward	
  to	
  finishing	
  sanding,	
  painting,	
  and	
  the	
  
wheels!

What	
  I	
  did:	
  
	
  
             	
         Today	
  I	
  started	
  a	
  whole	
  new	
  step	
  in	
  my	
  toy	
  making	
  process.	
  First,	
  I	
  
put	
  my	
  apron	
  on	
  to	
  protect	
  me	
  from	
  sharp	
  edges	
  and	
  to	
  protect	
  my	
  clothes	
  from	
  
dust.	
  I	
  also	
  made	
  sure	
  to	
  put	
  my	
  hair	
  up	
  so	
  it	
  didn’t	
  get	
  chopped	
  off	
  or	
  caught	
  in	
  
                                                                           anything.	
  I	
  didn’t	
  put	
  on	
  my	
  safety	
  goggles	
  
                                                                           yet	
  because	
  I	
  wasn’t	
  using	
  a	
  drill	
  or	
  
                                                                           anything	
  that	
  shed	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  dust	
  in	
  the	
  air	
  
                                                                           so	
  I	
  thought	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  me	
  as	
  much.	
  	
  
                                                                            	
  Sanding	
  off	
  the	
  extra	
  rough	
  edges	
  of	
  
                                                                           my	
  whale’s	
  body	
  with	
  sanding	
  block.	
  
                                                                                        	
  
                                                                                        I	
  began	
  with	
  sanding	
  again.	
  
                                                                           Although,	
  about	
  halfway	
  through	
  the	
  first	
  
                                                                           period	
  I	
  realized	
  that	
  everything	
  was	
  
                                                                           smooth.	
  So	
  I	
  asked	
  the	
  teacher	
  and	
  he	
  told	
  
me	
  the	
  amount	
  I	
  had	
  done	
  was	
  really	
  good	
  and	
  I	
  could	
  start	
  painting.	
  I	
  examined	
  
                                                                    my	
  whale	
  and	
  decided	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  spout	
  
                                                                    first.	
  	
  
                                                                    Using	
  a	
  big	
  brush	
  and	
  the	
  lightest	
  color	
  
                                                                    first,	
  I	
  painted	
  the	
  whale’s	
  spout	
  an	
  almost	
  
                                                                    white	
  blue	
  
                                                                    I	
  remembered	
  that	
  I	
  always	
  have	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  
                                                                    lighter	
  colors	
  first,	
  so	
  I	
  took	
  out	
  the	
  blue	
  and	
  
                                                                    white	
  paint.	
  I	
  took	
  out	
  two	
  paintbrushes,	
  one	
  
                                                                    small,	
  and	
  one	
  big.	
  On	
  the	
  cardboard,	
  I	
  mixed	
  
                                                                    the	
  blue	
  
                                                                    and	
  
white	
  paint	
  to	
  get	
  a	
  slightly	
  tinted	
  blue	
  
shade.	
  I	
  made	
  sure	
  to	
  paint	
  all	
  in	
  the	
  same	
  
direction	
  so	
  the	
  paint	
  wouldn’t	
  glob	
  our	
  
look	
  ugly.	
  	
  
Using	
  a	
  big	
  brush	
  and	
  continuing	
  to	
  
paint	
  with	
  the	
  lighter	
  colors	
  first,	
  I	
  
painted	
  the	
  whale’s	
  body	
  	
  	
  	
  	
  	
  	
   	
  
I	
  did	
  this	
  on	
  both	
  sides	
  with	
  the	
  big	
  brush,	
  
and	
  switched	
  to	
  the	
  small	
  one	
  when	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  go	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  spout	
  and	
  body.	
  	
  
               Once	
  I	
  was	
  done	
  with	
  the	
  spout,	
  I	
  moved	
  on	
  to	
  the	
  second	
  lightest	
  color,	
  
which	
  was	
  the	
  part	
  of	
  the	
  whale’s	
  body	
  that	
  didn’t	
  have	
  water	
  painted	
  on.	
  I	
  
added	
  more	
  blue	
  to	
  the	
  paint	
  mix	
  this	
  time,	
  giving	
  me	
  a	
  good	
  shade.	
  This	
  took	
  
me	
  the	
  longest	
  because	
  not	
  only	
  did	
  I	
  have	
  many	
  tight	
  spaces,	
  but	
  I	
  also	
  had	
  to	
  
be	
  careful	
  when	
  painting	
  near	
  the	
  water	
  section	
  because	
  I	
  didn’t	
  want	
  to	
  paint	
  
on	
  it.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
                                                                                    After	
  this,	
  I	
  only	
  had	
  about	
  ten	
  
                                                                                    minutes	
  left	
  but	
  I	
  quickly	
  added	
  a	
  
                                                                                    lot	
  more	
  blue	
  to	
  the	
  mix,	
  creating	
  
                                                                                    a	
  very	
  dark	
  blue,	
  and	
  began	
  
                                                                                    painting	
  the	
  water.	
  	
  
                                                                                     	
  Using	
  a

                                                                                    the	
  darkest	
  color	
  last,	
  I	
  painted	
  
                                                                                    the	
  ocean	
  on	
  my	
  whale,	
  	
  
                                                                                    	
  
                                                                                    I	
  did	
  not	
  finish	
  this	
  but	
  I	
  almost	
  
                                                                                    did.	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  be	
  careful	
  when	
  
                                                                                    painting	
  the	
  edges	
  of	
  the	
  water	
  
                                                                                    because	
  I	
  didn’t	
  want	
  to	
  get	
  the	
  
dark	
  paint	
  on	
  the	
  lighter	
  shade.	
  I	
  also	
  accidentally	
  got	
  some	
  of	
  the	
  dark	
  paint	
  in	
  
the	
  spout	
  when	
  I	
  was	
  painting	
  in	
  between	
  but	
  I	
  was	
  told	
  I	
  could	
  sand	
  that	
  off.	
  	
  
                  After	
  this,	
  the	
  class	
  had	
  ended,	
  and	
  it	
  was	
  time	
  to	
  pack	
  up.	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  
away	
  and	
  put	
  up	
  my	
  tools.	
  I	
  then	
  re-­‐wrote	
  my	
  name	
  on	
  my	
  piece	
  of	
  wood	
  and	
  
put	
  I	
  tin	
  the	
  Grade	
  8	
  Moving	
  Toy	
  project	
  box.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  cleaned	
  up	
  my	
  station	
  
and	
  made	
  sure	
  everything	
  was	
  in	
  order.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
Why?	
  
	
  
          I	
  used	
  a	
  sanding	
  block	
  at	
  the	
  beginning	
  of	
  the	
  lesson	
  because	
  I	
  need	
  to	
  
smooth	
  and	
  round	
  out	
  all	
  my	
  edges	
  to	
  ensure	
  my	
  toy	
  was	
  safe	
  and	
  good	
  looking.	
  
I	
  painted	
  my	
  whale	
  in	
  different	
  shades	
  of	
  blue	
  because	
  I	
  wanted	
  the	
  different	
  
body	
  parts	
  to	
  stand	
  out.	
  I	
  paint	
  with	
  two	
  different	
  brushes	
  so	
  I	
  didn’t	
  paint	
  too	
  
off	
  the	
  edges	
  or	
  lines.	
  I	
  painted	
  with	
  the	
  light	
  colors	
  first	
  because	
  that	
  way	
  if	
  I	
  
mess	
  up,	
  I	
  can	
  just	
  paint	
  over	
  it	
  with	
  the	
  darker	
  color.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
What’s	
  Next?	
  
	
  
	
  
      In	
  the	
  next	
  lesson,	
  I	
  plan	
  on	
  finishing	
  the	
  body	
  of	
  my	
  whale’s	
  first	
  coat.	
  I	
  
think	
  I	
  might	
  to	
  let	
  it	
  dry	
  before	
  putting	
  on	
  a	
  second	
  coat	
  so	
  I’ll	
  probably	
  paint	
  
the	
  wheels	
  before	
  I	
  do	
  the	
  second	
  coat.	
  Then,	
  while	
  the	
  second	
  body	
  coat	
  is	
  
drying;	
  I’ll	
  do	
  the	
  second	
  paint	
  coat	
  on	
  the	
  wheels.	
  I	
  also	
  need	
  to	
  attach	
  they	
  
eyes	
  and	
  draw	
  the	
  mouth.	
  Then	
  I’ll	
  be	
  done	
  with	
  painting.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  need	
  to	
  sand	
  
the	
  body	
  again	
  and	
  attach	
  the	
  wheels.	
  Then,	
  I’m	
  done.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
Emotion	
  
	
  
	
   I	
  felt	
  very	
  good	
  about	
  today’s	
  lesson.	
  Today	
  I	
  began	
  a	
  whole	
  new	
  step	
  to	
  
my	
  toy	
  making	
  process	
  and	
  I	
  love	
  seeing	
  the	
  whale	
  colored	
  and	
  bright.	
  I	
  look	
  
forward	
  to	
  finishing	
  it!

  My	
  Whale’s	
  Body	
  
May

  2011	
  
	
  
``	
  
       	
     Today	
  I	
  only	
  did	
  one	
  thing.	
  First,	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  on	
  to	
  protect	
  me	
  
from	
  sharp	
  edges	
  and	
  to	
  protect	
  my	
  clothes	
  from	
  dust.	
  I	
  also	
  made	
  sure	
  to	
  put	
  
my	
  hair	
  up	
  so	
  it	
  didn’t	
  get	
  chopped	
  off	
  or	
  caught	
  in	
  anything.	
  I	
  didn’t	
  put	
  on	
  my	
  
                                                                  safety	
  goggles	
  yet	
  because	
  I	
  wasn’t	
  using	
  a	
  
                                                                  drill	
  or	
  anything	
  that	
  shed	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  dust	
  in	
  
                                                                  the	
  air	
  so	
  I	
  thought	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  me	
  as	
  
                                                                  much.	
  	
  
                                                                  

  a	
  large	
  brush

  I	
  pulled	
  out	
  all	
  the	
  painting	
  
                                                                  tools	
  I	
  need	
  for	
  my	
  whale.	
  I	
  got	
  out	
  the	
  
                                                                  cardboard	
  piece	
  that	
  I	
  mixed	
  my	
  paint	
  on.	
  I	
  
                                                                  got	
  two	
  paintbrushes,	
  one	
  small	
  and	
  one	
  
big	
  brush.	
  I	
  also	
  got	
  a	
  little	
  container	
  of	
  water	
  that	
  I	
  could	
  wet	
  or	
  clean	
  my	
  brush	
  
with.	
  I	
  then	
  got	
  my	
  whale	
  out	
  and	
  
examined	
  it.	
  I	
  had	
  painted	
  almost	
  all	
  of	
                                                                           it	
  
except	
  for	
  the	
  small	
  little	
  edges	
  of	
  
water.	
  First	
  I	
  mixed	
  the	
  paint	
  to	
  get	
  the	
  
shade	
  that	
  the	
  water	
  part	
  of	
  the	
  body	
  
was	
  painted	
  of.	
  	
  	
  
Continuing	
  to	
  paint	
  my	
  whale’s	
  body	
  a	
  
dark	
  blue	
  with	
  a	
  large	
  brush	
  and	
  
using	
  a	
  painting	
  cardboard	
  to	
  mix	
  my	
  
paint.	
  	
  -­‐-­‐>	
  
            I	
  used	
  this	
  shade	
  to	
  finish	
  painting	
  the	
  body	
  of	
  my	
  whale	
  besides	
  the	
  hard	
  
to	
  get	
  places.	
  For	
  these	
  I	
  once	
  again	
  got	
  my	
  small	
  paintbrush	
  and	
  began	
  to	
  mix	
  
the	
  paint.	
  I	
  needed	
  the	
  same	
  very	
  dark	
  shade	
  of	
  blue	
  that	
  I	
  used	
  before	
  as	
  water.	
  
I	
  mixed	
  very	
  little	
  white	
  with	
  the	
  blue	
  to	
  get	
  the	
  shade	
  I	
  was	
  looking	
  for.	
  I	
  began	
  
                                                             painting	
  those	
  edges	
  with	
  the	
  paintbrush	
  
                                                             very	
  carefully	
  so	
  I	
  didn’t	
  get	
  any	
  darker	
  paint	
  
                                                             on	
  the	
  lighter	
  parts	
  of	
  the	
  body.	
  I	
  also	
  made	
  
                                                             sure	
  to	
  paint	
  in	
  the	
  same	
  direction	
  to	
  avoid	
  
                                                             making	
  the	
  paint	
  job	
  look	
  ugly	
  and	
  to	
  avoid	
  
                                                             globs	
  of	
  paint	
  forming.	
  
                                                             	
  
                                                              	
  Using	
  a	
  small	
  brush	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  hard	
  to	
  
                                                             get	
  edges	
  of	
  my	
  whale’s	
  body	
  	
  
 
         This	
  took	
  up	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  the	
  period	
  but	
  I	
  finished	
  painting	
  my	
  whole	
  
whale’s	
  body.	
  Although,	
  this	
  is	
  only	
  the	
  first	
  coat.	
  I	
  have	
  to	
  do	
  this	
  again	
  and	
  I	
  
also	
  have	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  wheels	
  the	
  same	
  shade	
  of	
  blue	
  as	
  the	
  lower	
  body	
  (water	
  
section).	
  After	
  this,	
  the	
  class	
  had	
  ended,	
  and	
  it	
  was	
  time	
  to	
  pack	
  up.	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  
apron	
  away	
  and	
  put	
  up	
  my	
  tools.	
  I	
  then	
  re-­‐wrote	
  my	
  name	
  on	
  my	
  piece	
  of	
  wood	
  
and	
  put	
  I	
  tin	
  the	
  Grade	
  8	
  Moving	
  Toy	
  project	
  box.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  cleaned	
  up	
  my	
  
station	
  and	
  made	
  sure	
  everything	
  was	
  in	
  order.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
Why?	
  
	
  
	
   I	
  used	
  the	
  darker	
  shade	
  of	
  blue	
  on	
  the	
  lower	
  body	
  because	
  I	
  needed	
  some	
  
contrast	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  colors	
  to	
  show	
  that	
  the	
  whale	
  was	
  swimming,	
  and	
  that	
  
the	
  darker	
  shade	
  is	
  the	
  water.	
  I	
  painted	
  in	
  all	
  the	
  same	
  directions	
  so	
  that	
  the	
  
paint	
  job	
  would	
  look	
  professional	
  and	
  not	
  ugly	
  and	
  also	
  so	
  the	
  paint	
  wouldn’t	
  
glob	
  and	
  layer	
  unevenly.	
  I	
  used	
  the	
  large	
  paintbrush	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  large	
  areas	
  
because	
  it’s	
  less	
  time	
  consuming	
  and	
  looks	
  better.	
  I	
  also	
  used	
  a	
  small	
  brush	
  to	
  
paint	
  the	
  small	
  and	
  hard	
  to	
  reach	
  areas	
  because	
  a	
  large	
  paintbrush	
  might	
  
accidently	
  paint	
  the	
  wrong	
  places	
  or	
  mess	
  up	
  the	
  paint	
  job.	
  
	
  
	
  
What’s	
  Next?	
  
	
  
	
           In	
  the	
  next	
  lesson,	
  I	
  plan	
  on	
  painting	
  and	
  finishing	
  the	
  wheels.	
  I	
  will	
  paint	
  
these	
  the	
  same	
  color	
  as	
  my	
  whales	
  lower	
  body	
  (water	
  or	
  ocean	
  section).	
  This	
  
will	
  be	
  a	
  very	
  dark	
  blue.	
  Although	
  I	
  will	
  not	
  paint	
  the	
  entire	
  wheel	
  because	
  some	
  
of	
  it	
  won’t	
  even	
  be	
  seen	
  so	
  there	
  is	
  no	
  point.	
  I	
  will	
  also	
  paint	
  the	
  second	
  coat	
  on	
  
both	
  the	
  body	
  and	
  wheels.	
  After	
  that,	
  I	
  have	
  to	
  assemble	
  the	
  body	
  and	
  I’m	
  done!	
  
I	
  look	
  forward	
  to	
  finishing	
  it.	
  
	
  
	
  
Emotion	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
	
   I	
  felt	
  good	
  about	
  today’s	
  lesson.	
  I	
  finished	
  the	
  first	
  complete	
  coat	
  of	
  my	
  
whale’s	
  body.	
  This	
  to	
  me	
  shows	
  progress	
  in	
  my	
  work.	
  This	
  makes	
  me	
  very	
  
happy,	
  fulfilled,	
  and	
  excited	
  for	
  my	
  work	
  and	
  what’s	
  happening	
  next.

Continuing

  Paint	
  My	
  Whale’s	
  Body	
  
May	
  16,	
  2011	
  
	
  
	
  
     	
       Today	
  I	
  only	
  did	
  one	
  thing.	
  First,	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  on	
  to	
  protect	
  me	
  
from	
  sharp	
  edges	
  and	
  to	
  protect	
  my	
  clothes	
  from	
  dust.	
  I	
  also	
  made	
  sure	
  to	
  put	
  
my	
  hair	
  up	
  so	
  it	
  didn’t	
  get	
  chopped	
  off	
  or	
  caught	
  in	
  anything.	
  I	
  didn’t	
  put	
  on	
  my	
  
safety	
  goggles	
  yet	
  because	
  I	
  wasn’t	
  using	
  a	
  drill	
  or	
  anything	
  that	
  shed	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  
                                                      dust	
  in	
  the	
  air	
  so	
  I	
  thought	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  me	
  
                                                      as	
  much.	
  	
  
                                                      	
  
                                                       Using	
  a	
  small	
  brush	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  second	
  
                                                      coat	
  of	
  light	
  paint	
  on	
  my	
  whale’s	
  spout.	
  	
  
                                                                   	
  
                                                                   First	
  I	
  pulled	
  out	
  all	
  the	
  painting	
  tools	
  I	
  
                                                      need	
  for	
  my	
  whale.	
  I	
  got	
  out	
  the	
  cardboard	
  piece	
  
                                                      that	
  I	
  mixed	
  my	
  paint	
  on.	
  I	
  got	
  two	
  paintbrushes,	
  
                                                      one	
  small	
  and	
  one	
  big	
  brush.	
  I	
  also	
  got	
  a	
  little	
  
container	
  of	
  water	
  that	
  I	
  could	
  wet	
  or	
  clean	
  my	
  brush	
  with.	
  I	
  then	
  got	
  my	
  whale	
  
out	
  and	
  examined	
  it.	
  I	
  needed	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  second	
  coat	
  to	
  get	
  off	
  all	
  the	
  little	
  
                                                                        details	
  and	
  to	
  fix	
  any	
  not	
  painted	
  or	
  
                                                                        messed	
  up	
  parts.	
  First	
  I	
  mixed	
  the	
  paint	
  
                                                                        to	
  get	
  the	
  shade	
  that	
  the	
  water	
  part	
  of	
  the	
  
                                                                        body	
  was	
  painted	
  of.	
  	
  	
  
                                                                        	
  
                                                                         	
  Using	
  a	
  large	
  brush	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  
                                                                        darker	
  shade	
  of	
  blue	
  on	
  my	
  whale’s	
  
                                                                        body.	
  (second	
  coat)	
  
                                                                                    	
  
                                                                                    I	
  used	
  this	
  shade	
  to	
  finish	
  painting	
  
                                                                        the	
  second	
  coat	
  on	
  the	
  body	
  of	
  my	
  whale	
  
besides	
  the	
  hard	
  to	
  get	
  places.	
  For	
  these	
  I	
  once	
  again	
  got	
  my	
  small	
  paintbrush	
  
and	
  began	
  to	
  mix	
  the	
  paint.	
  I	
  needed	
  the	
  same	
  very	
  dark	
  shade	
  of	
  blue	
  that	
  I	
  
used	
  before	
  as	
  water.	
  I	
  mixed	
  very	
  little	
  white	
  with	
  the	
  blue	
  to	
  get	
  the	
  shade	
  I	
  
was	
  looking	
  for.	
  I	
  began	
  painting	
  those	
  edges	
  with	
  the	
  paintbrush	
  very	
  carefully	
  
so	
  I	
  didn’t	
  get	
  any	
  darker	
  paint	
  on	
  the	
  lighter	
  parts	
  of	
  the	
  body.	
  I	
  also	
  made	
  sure	
  
to	
  paint	
  in	
  the	
  same	
  direction	
  to	
  avoid	
  making	
  the	
  paint	
  job	
  look	
  ugly	
  and	
  to	
  
avoid	
  globs	
  of	
  paint	
  forming.	
  The	
  second	
  coat	
  was	
  in	
  the	
  end	
  hard	
  to	
  do	
  because	
  
it	
  was	
  harder	
  to	
  paint	
  on	
  top	
  of	
  a	
  first	
  coat.	
  	
  
	
  
                                                  	
  
                                                                	
  
                                                                This	
  took	
  up	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  the	
  periods	
  but	
  I	
  
                                                  finished	
  painting	
  my	
  whole	
  whale’s	
  second	
  coat	
  all	
  
                                                  over	
  the	
  body.	
  I	
  also	
  have	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  wheels	
  the	
  
                                                  same	
  shade	
  of	
  blue	
  as	
  the	
  lower	
  body	
  (water	
  
                                                                        section).	
  	
  
                                                                        	
  
                                                                         	
  Using	
  a	
  large	
  brush	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  
                                                                        darkest	
  shade	
  of	
  blue	
  on	
  the	
  ocean	
  part	
  
                                                                        of	
  my	
  whale.	
  (second	
  coat)	
  
                                                                                     	
  
                                                                                     After	
  this,	
  the	
  class	
  had	
  ended,	
  and	
  
                                                                        it	
  was	
  time	
  to	
  pack	
  up.	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  
                                                                        away	
  and	
  put	
  up	
  my	
  tools.	
  I	
  then	
  re-­‐
                                                                        wrote	
  my	
  name	
  on	
  my	
  piece	
  of	
  wood	
  and	
  
put	
  I	
  in	
  the	
  Grade	
  8	
  Moving	
  Toy	
  project	
  box.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  cleaned	
  up	
  my	
  station	
  and	
  
made	
  sure	
  everything	
  was	
  in	
  order.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
Why?	
  
	
  
	
   I	
  used	
  the	
  darker	
  shade	
  of	
  blue	
  on	
  the	
  lower	
  body	
  because	
  I	
  needed	
  some	
  
contrast	
  in	
  between	
  the	
  colors	
  to	
  show	
  that	
  the	
  whale	
  was	
  swimming,	
  and	
  that	
  
the	
  darker	
  shade	
  is	
  the	
  water.	
  I	
  painted	
  in	
  all	
  the	
  same	
  directions	
  so	
  that	
  the	
  
paint	
  job	
  would	
  look	
  professional	
  and	
  not	
  ugly	
  and	
  also	
  so	
  the	
  paint	
  wouldn’t	
  
glob	
  and	
  layer	
  unevenly.	
  I	
  used	
  the	
  large	
  paintbrush	
  to	
  paint	
  the	
  large	
  areas	
  
because	
  it’s	
  less	
  time	
  consuming	
  and	
  looks	
  better.	
  I	
  also	
  used	
  a	
  small	
  brush	
  to	
  
paint	
  the	
  small	
  and	
  hard	
  to	
  reach	
  areas	
  because	
  a	
  large	
  paintbrush	
  might	
  
accidently	
  paint	
  the	
  wrong	
  places	
  or	
  mess	
  up	
  the	
  paint	
  job.	
  I	
  painted	
  a	
  second	
  
coat	
  because	
  when	
  I	
  sand	
  the	
  whale	
  for	
  a	
  final	
  time,	
  I	
  need	
  to	
  get	
  the	
  lines	
  off	
  but	
  
I	
  need	
  the	
  paint	
  to	
  be	
  thick	
  enough	
  not	
  to	
  completely	
  come	
  off	
  when	
  I	
  sand.	
  I	
  
also	
  needed	
  to	
  cover	
  the	
  spots	
  I	
  missed	
  or	
  painted	
  the	
  wrong	
  color.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
What’s	
  Next?	
  
	
  
          In	
  the	
  next	
  lesson,	
  I	
  plan	
  on	
  painting	
  and	
  finishing	
  the	
  wheels.	
  I	
  will	
  paint	
  
these	
  the	
  same	
  color	
  as	
  my	
  whales	
  lower	
  body	
  (water	
  or	
  ocean	
  section).	
  This	
  
will	
  be	
  a	
  very	
  dark	
  blue.	
  Although	
  I	
  will	
  not	
  paint	
  the	
  entire	
  wheel	
  because	
  some	
  
of	
  it	
  won’t	
  even	
  be	
  seen	
  so	
  there	
  is	
  no	
  point.	
  I	
  will	
  also	
  paint	
  the	
  second	
  on	
  the	
  
wheels	
  after	
  they	
  dry.	
  After	
  that,	
  I	
  have	
  to	
  assemble	
  the	
  body	
  and	
  I’m	
  done!	
  I	
  
look	
  forward	
  to	
  finishing	
  it.	
  
	
  
	
  
Emotion	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
	
   I	
  felt	
  good	
  about	
  today’s	
  lesson.	
  I	
  finished	
  the	
  first	
  complete	
  coat	
  of	
  my	
  
whale’s	
  body.	
  This	
  to	
  me	
  shows	
  progress	
  in	
  my	
  work.	
  This	
  makes	
  me	
  very	
  
happy,	
  fulfilled,	
  and	
  excited	
  for	
  my	
  work	
  and	
  what’s	
  happening	
  next.

I	
  was	
  a	
  knowledgeable	
  because	
  I	
  used	
  my	
  previous	
  knowledge	
  with	
  painting	
  to	
  
properly	
  and	
  neatly	
  paint	
  my	
  whale.

Sanding

  Whale’s	
  Body

  Wheels	
  
May	
  18,	
  2011	
  
	
  
          	
  
          Today	
  I	
  mostly	
  painted	
  but	
  I	
  sanded	
  as	
  well.	
  First,	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  on	
  to	
  
protect	
  me	
  from	
  sharp	
  edges	
  and	
  to	
  protect	
  my	
  clothes	
  from	
  dust.	
  I	
  also	
  made	
  
sure	
  to	
  put	
  my	
  hair	
  up	
  so	
  it	
  didn’t	
  get	
  chopped	
  off	
  or	
  caught	
  in	
  anything.	
  I	
  didn’t	
  
                                                                put	
  on	
  my	
  safety	
  goggles	
  yet	
  because	
  I	
  wasn’t	
  
                                                                using	
  a	
  drill	
  or	
  anything	
  that	
  shed	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  
                                                                dust	
  in	
  the	
  air	
  so	
  I	
  thought	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  
                                                                me	
  as	
  much.	
  	
  
                                                                

                                                                             First	
  I	
  pulled	
  out	
  all	
  my	
  painting	
  and	
  
                                                                sanding	
  tools	
  and	
  examined	
  my	
  toy.	
  I	
  decided	
  
                                                                that	
  I	
  needed	
  to	
  sand	
  the	
  layer	
  of	
  paint	
  on	
  my	
  
                                                                whale	
  and	
  then	
  repaint	
  some	
  of	
  the	
  in	
  
touched	
  parts.	
  So,	
  I	
  proceed	
  to	
  sand	
  my	
  wheel	
  for	
  about	
  ten	
  minutes.	
  After	
  my	
  
whale’s	
  body	
  was	
  smooth,	
  I	
  started	
  
retouching	
  up	
  the	
  areas	
  that	
  the	
  nail	
  board	
  
had	
  damaged	
  or	
  just	
  area	
  that	
  needed	
  to	
  
look	
  better.	
  I	
  did	
  this	
  on	
  the	
  second	
  and	
  
third	
  section	
  of	
  my	
  whale,	
  and	
  plan	
  on	
  
doing	
  the	
  spout	
  tomorrow	
  because	
  it	
  only	
  
needs	
  a	
  couple	
  fixes.	
  	
  
Filling	
  in	
  the	
  holes	
  of	
  my	
  wheel	
  and	
  then	
  
sanding	
  it	
  off	
  to	
  get	
  an	
  even	
  surface 	
  
          After	
  this,	
  one	
  whole	
  period	
  had	
  
ended.	
  I	
  need	
  to	
  paint	
  my	
  wheels	
  so	
  I	
  got	
  
the	
  paint	
  ready.	
  Although	
  realized	
  two	
  things	
  
needed	
  to	
  be	
  fixed.	
  One,	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  drill	
  the	
  large	
  
hole	
  for	
  m$y	
  axle	
  in	
  my	
  other	
  regular	
  wheel,	
  
and	
  also	
  fill	
  in	
  the	
  holes	
  that	
  will	
  be	
  showing	
  
on	
  the	
  outside	
  of	
  the	
  wheel	
  in	
  with	
  wood	
  
paste.	
  I	
  did	
  this	
  and	
  sanded	
  off	
  the	
  extra	
  bits	
  
to	
  make	
  it	
  flat.	
  Then,	
  I	
  drilled	
  the	
  hole	
  into	
  my	
  
wheel	
  using	
  a	
  pedestal	
  drill	
  and	
  a	
  large	
  drill.	
  I	
  did	
  not	
  got	
  all	
  the	
  way	
  through	
  
this	
  time.	
  	
  
          Once	
  I	
  was	
  done	
  with	
  this,	
  I	
  started	
  painting	
  my	
  wheels.	
  I	
  decided	
  to	
  paint	
  
all	
  around	
  the	
  wheel	
  except	
  for	
  a	
  bit	
  off	
  the	
  edge	
  of	
  the	
  axles.	
  I	
  did	
  this	
  just	
  in	
  
case	
  the	
  wood	
  in	
  the	
  back	
  showed	
  when	
  rolling.	
  Painting	
  the	
  wheels	
  without	
  
axles	
  was	
  hard	
  because	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  wet	
  
paint	
  all	
  over	
  the	
  wheel	
  and	
  putting	
  it	
  in	
  
a	
  position	
  I	
  could	
  paint	
  in	
  without	
  
getting	
  all	
  over	
  the	
  place	
  was	
  hard.	
  	
  
         Fixing	
  any	
  little	
  mistakes	
  on	
  my	
  
whale’s	
  body.	
   	
                  	
            	
  
         This	
  took	
  up	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  the	
  
period.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
                                              	
  
                                               	
  Using	
  a	
  pedestal	
  drill	
  to	
  drill	
  the	
  hole	
  where	
  my	
  
                                              axle	
  should	
  go	
  in	
  my	
  normal	
  wheel.	
  
                                                          After	
  this,	
  the	
  class	
  had	
  ended,	
  and	
  it	
  was	
  time	
  
                                              to	
  pack	
  up.	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  away	
  and	
  put	
  up	
  my	
  tools.	
  I	
  
                                              then	
  re-­‐wrote	
  my	
  name	
  on	
  my	
  piece	
  of	
  wood	
  and	
  put	
  I	
  
                                              in	
  the	
  Grade	
  8	
  Moving	
  Toy	
  project	
  box.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  
                                              cleaned	
  up	
  my	
  station	
  and	
  made	
  sure	
  everything	
  was	
  
                                              in	
  order.	
  	
  
                                              	
  
                                                                                                                          	
  
                                                                                                                           	
  
                                                                                                                           	
  
                                                                                                                           	
  
                                                                                                                           	
  
                                                                                                                           	
  
                                                                                                                           	
  
                                                                                                                           	
  
                                                          	
  Painting	
  my	
  wheels	
  with	
  the	
  color	
  of	
  the	
  
                                                         ocean.	
  	
  
	
  
Why?	
  
	
  
	
         I	
  sanded	
  my	
  whale	
  before	
  I	
  painted	
  again	
  because	
  when	
  I	
  sand	
  off	
  the	
  
roughness,	
  it	
  creates	
  a	
  new	
  pattern	
  in	
  the	
  wood.	
  When	
  I	
  paint	
  the	
  next	
  layer,	
  the	
  
paint	
  I	
  used	
  then	
  should	
  fill	
  in	
  the	
  new	
  pattern,	
  creating	
  a	
  fairly	
  smooth	
  surface.	
  
I	
  re-­‐painted	
  many	
  of	
  the	
  sections	
  of	
  my	
  whale	
  so	
  everything	
  looked	
  even	
  and	
  
nice.	
  Also,	
  so	
  the	
  paint	
  would	
  last	
  longer.	
  I	
  used	
  wood	
  paste	
  to	
  fill	
  in	
  the	
  holes	
  of	
  
my	
  wheels	
  because	
  the	
  paste	
  can	
  mold	
  into	
  a	
  position,	
  stay,	
  and	
  be	
  sanded	
  flat	
  
to	
  fill	
  in	
  the	
  hole	
  perfectly	
  so	
  my	
  toy	
  looks	
  nicer.	
  I	
  drill	
  the	
  final	
  hole	
  one	
  of	
  my	
  
regular	
  wheels	
  because	
  the	
  axle	
  needs	
  o	
  be	
  able	
  to	
  fit	
  in	
  the	
  wheel.	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
What’s	
  Next?	
  
	
  
	
       In	
  the	
  nest	
  period,	
  I	
  will	
  finish	
  all	
  the	
  painting	
  and	
  sanding	
  needed	
  to	
  be	
  
done	
  on	
  the	
  body.	
  I	
  will	
  also	
  paint	
  the	
  second	
  coat	
  on	
  my	
  wheels.	
  This	
  is	
  all	
  I	
  
predict	
  I	
  can	
  get	
  done	
  in	
  one	
  period.	
  After	
  that	
  though,	
  I	
  need	
  to	
  assemble	
  the	
  
body,	
  glue	
  on	
  the	
  eyes,	
  and	
  draw	
  the	
  face	
  on	
  my	
  whale.	
  Then	
  I	
  will	
  be	
  done!	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
Emotion	
  
	
  
	
       I	
  had	
  mixed	
  feelings	
  about	
  this	
  lesson.	
  I’m	
  getting	
  sick	
  of	
  painting	
  the	
  
body,	
  but	
  I	
  know	
  I’m	
  almost	
  done.	
  I’m	
  happy	
  I	
  painted	
  the	
  wheels	
  though.	
  I’m	
  
looking	
  forward	
  to	
  the	
  next	
  lesson	
  because	
  I	
  know	
  I	
  can	
  get	
  a	
  lot	
  done!

  painting	
  to	
  
properly	
  and	
  neatly	
  to

  2011	
  
	
  
	
  
          Today	
  I	
  mostly	
  painted,	
  but	
  I	
  marked	
  out	
  the	
  eyes	
  as	
  well.	
  First,	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  
apron	
  on	
  to	
  protect	
  me	
  from	
  sharp	
  edges	
  and	
  to	
  protect	
  my	
  clothes	
  from	
  dust.	
  I	
  
also	
  made	
  sure	
  to	
  put	
  my	
  hair	
  up	
  so	
  it	
  didn’t	
  get	
  chopped	
  off	
  or	
  caught	
  in	
  
anything.	
  I	
  didn’t	
  put	
  on	
  my	
  safety	
  goggles	
  yet	
  because	
  I	
  wasn’t	
  using	
  a	
  drill	
  or	
  
anything	
  that	
  shed	
  a	
  lot	
  of	
  dust	
  in	
  the	
  air	
  so	
  I	
  thought	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  me	
  as	
  
                                                                 much.	
  	
  
                                                                 	
  	
  Getting	
  all	
  little	
  bits	
  of	
  paint	
  and	
  sharp	
  
                                                                 edges	
  out	
  of	
  the	
  holes	
  in	
  my	
  whale’s	
  body	
  
                                                                 	
  
                                                                              First	
  I	
  pulled	
  out	
  all	
  my	
  painting	
  tools	
  
                                                                 and	
  examined	
  my	
  toy.	
  I	
  started	
  retouching	
  up	
  
                                                                 the	
  areas	
  that	
  the	
  nail	
  board	
  had	
  damaged	
  or	
  
                                                                 just	
  area	
  that	
  needed	
  to	
  look	
  better.	
  I	
  did	
  this	
  
                                                                 on	
  all	
  sections	
  of	
  my	
  whale,	
  and	
  plan	
  on	
  
                                                                 doing	
  the	
  spout	
  tomorrow	
  because	
  it	
  only	
  
needs	
  a	
  couple	
  fixes.	
  After	
  this	
  I	
  needed	
  to	
  re-­‐paint	
  my	
  wheels	
  so	
  I	
  got	
  the	
  paint	
  
ready.	
  Once	
  I	
  was	
  done	
  with	
  this,	
  I	
  started	
  
painting	
  my	
  wheels.	
  	
  
Touching	
  up	
  my	
  whale’s	
  body	
  and	
  wheels	
  
with	
  different	
  shades	
  of	
  blue	
   	
  	
  
          	
  
          I	
  decided	
  to	
  paint	
  all	
  around	
  the	
  wheel	
  
except	
  for	
  a	
  bit	
  off	
  the	
  edge	
  of	
  the	
  axles.	
  I	
  did	
  
this	
  just	
  in	
  case	
  the	
  wood	
  in	
  
the	
  back	
  showed	
  when	
  
rolling.	
  Painting	
  the	
  wheels	
  
without	
  axles	
  was	
  hard	
  
because	
  I	
  had	
  to	
  wet	
  paint	
  
all	
  over	
  the	
  wheel	
  and	
  
putting	
  it	
  in

  I	
  
could	
  paint	
  in	
  without	
  
getting	
  all	
  over	
  the	
  place	
  
was	
  hard.	
  I	
  also	
  sanded

  scraped	
  off	
  some	
  of	
  the	
  dry	
  
paint	
  off	
  my	
  axles	
  so	
  it	
  wouldn’t	
  affect	
  the	
  wheels	
  when	
  
they	
  rolled.	
  This	
  took	
  up	
  the	
  rest	
  of	
  the	
  period.	
  	
  
          After	
  this,	
  the	
  class	
  had	
  ended,	
  and	
  it	
  was	
  time	
  to	
  pack	
  up.	
  I	
  put	
  my	
  apron	
  
away	
  and	
  put	
  up	
  my	
  tools.	
  I	
  then	
  re-­‐wrote	
  my	
  name	
  on	
  my	
  piece	
  of	
  wood	
  and	
  
put	
  I	
  in	
  the	
  Grade	
  8	
  Moving	
  Toy	
  project	
  box.	
  Finally,	
  I	
  cleaned	
  up	
  my	
  station	
  and	
  
                                                            made	
  sure	
  everything	
  was	
  in	
  order.	
  	
  
                                                            	
  
                                                             	
  Sanding

                                                            of

                                                   Marking	
  out	
  
the	
  area	
  where	
  my	
  whale’s	
  eyes	
  will	
  go	
  	
   	
  
	
       	
      	
      	
      	
       	
        	
               	
  
	
  
	
  
Why?	
  
	
  
	
        I	
  used	
  the	
  in	
  the	
  holes	
  of	
  my	
  whale’s	
  body	
  to	
  get	
  any	
  
bits	
  of	
  paint	
  out	
  of	
  them	
  to	
  ensure	
  that	
  the	
  wheels	
  can	
  roll	
  
when	
  I	
  put	
  them	
  in.	
  I	
  painted	
  the	
  second	
  coat	
  of	
  paint	
  on	
  
my	
  whale’s	
  wheels	
  to	
  ensure	
  they	
  looked	
  nice.	
  I	
  also	
  re-­‐painted	
  areas	
  of	
  my	
  
whale’s	
  body	
  to	
  ensure	
  that	
  it	
  looked	
  good	
  and	
  had	
  no	
  rough	
  parts.	
  	
  
	
  
What’s	
  Next?	
  
	
  
	
       In	
  the	
  nest	
  periods,	
  I	
  will	
  make	
  sure	
  all	
  painting	
  is	
  done	
  for	
  good,	
  drill	
  the	
  
holes	
  for	
  the	
  eyes,	
  put	
  in	
  the	
  eyes,	
  and	
  put	
  the	
  wheels	
  in.	
  After	
  that,	
  just	
  need	
  to	
  
make	
  sure	
  everything	
  is	
  fine	
  and	
  I’m	
  done.	
  I	
  look	
  forward	
  to	
  finishing	
  it.	
  	
  
	
  
Emotion	
  
	
  
	
       I	
  had	
  mixed	
  feelings	
  about	
  this	
  lesson.	
  I’m	
  getting	
  sick	
  of	
  painting	
  the	
  
body,	
  but	
  I	
  know	
  I’m	
  almost	
  done.	
  I’m	
  happy	
  I	
  painted	
  the	
  wheels	
  though.	
  I’m	
  
looking	
  forward	
  to	
  the	
  next	
  lesson	
  because	
  I	
  know	
  I	
  can	
  get	
  a	
  lot	
  done!	
  
	
  
	
  
AOI	
  &	
  Learner	
  Profile	
  
	
  
I	
  was	
  a	
  knowledgeable	
  because	
  I	
  used	
  my	
  previous	
  knowledge	
  with	
  painting	
  to	
  
properly	
  and	
  neatly	
  to	
  paint	
  my	
  whale.	
  Also	
  I	
  used	
  my	
  previous	
  knowledge	
  with	
  
the	
  pedestal	
  drill	
  to	
  drill	
  a	
  hole	
  in	
  my	
  wheel.	
  	
  	
  
Environment	
  –	
  We	
  are	
  re-­‐using	
  wood	
  and	
  using	
  small	
  pieces	
  for	
  other	
  projects	
  
so	
  we	
  don’t	
  have	
  to	
  use	
  a	
  different	
  piece	
  every	
  time.

  • 7.   Finishing  Drilling  My  Whale’s  Wheels  and  Sanding  the   Body   May  9,  2011       What  I  did:     Today  I  got  a  lot  done.  First,  I  put  my  apron  on  to  protect  me  from  sharp   edges  and  to  protect  my  clothes  from  dust.  I  also   made  sure  to  put  my  hair  up  so  it  didn’t  get  chopped   off  or  caught  in  anything.  I  didn’t  put  on  my  safety   goggles  yet  because  I  wasn’t  using  a  drill  or  anything   that  shed  a  lot  of  dust  in  the  air  so  I  thought  it   wouldn’t  affect  me  as  much.      Drilling  the  holes  in  my  whale’s  body  where  the   wheels  will  go.     I  also  made  sure  I  was  wearing  closed   toed  shoes  so  if  I  dropped  anything  heavy  or   a  sharp  objects  on  my  feet,  it  wouldn’t  affect   me  that  badly.       First  I  pulled  out  my  wheels  and   examined  them.  I  had  to  drill  the  actual  holes   into  my  whale’s  body  and  then  test  the  wheel   and  axles  together.  So  I  got  out  my  whale  and   put  the  wheel  on  to  see  where  the  hole  should   be  drilled.  I  was  careful  not  to  mark  the  area  to  far  from  the  edge  because  when   the  off  center  wheel  moves,  it  might   not  roll  correctly.  When  I  found  the   right  location  for  the  drilling,  I   marked  it  out  with  a  pencil  and   placed  it  under  the  drill.  I  also   measure  the  length  of  the  marked   out  location  so  I  could  make  it   identical  on  the  other  side  as  well.   The  first  time  I  lowered  the  drill,  I   drilled  only  a  little  on  the  surface  to   make  sure  it  was  in  place.     Using  a  wooden  mallet  and  glue  to   hit  the  axle  in  my  wheel.  Then  using  a   wet  cloth  to  get  the  extra  glue  off      -­-­>  
  • 8. I  drilled  all  the  way  through  this  time.  I  continued  to  do  this  again.       Once  I  was  done  with  that,  I  needed  to  glue  and  hammer  in  my  axles  to  my   wheels.  I  picked  up  my  off  center  wheel  first  and  put  the  glue  on  the  edge  and  a   bit  on  the  inside.  I  put  in  the  axel  and  used  the  wooden  mallet  to  make  sure  the   axel  was  in  the  wheel  and  stayed.  I  then  used  a  wet  cloth  to  clean  off  any   unnecessary  glue.  I  tested  to  see  if  everything  fit  and  worked,  and  it  did.       I  needed  my  wheel’s  set  so  I  continued   to  sand  my  whale’s  body.  This  really  took  up   the  rest  of  the  period.  I  continued  to  sand  all   the  rough  areas  that  were  easy  to  get  to.  I   used  a  sanding  block  with  sanding  paper  for   it.      Using  a  sanding  block  and  sanding   paper  to  smooth  out  all  rough  edges  and   surfaces  of  my  whale.       Throughout  the  rest  of  the  period,  I  sanded  the   whole  whale’s  body.  I  even  got  the  hard  to  reach   places  in  between  the  spout  and  tail  with  just  sand   paper  and  not  the  sanding  block.     After  this,  the  period  had  ended,  and  it  was   time  to  pack  up.  I  put  my  apron  away  and  put  up   my  tools.  I  then  re-­‐wrote  my  name  on  my  piece  of   wood  and  put  I  tin  the  Grade  8  Moving  Toy  project   box.  Finally,  I  cleaned  up  my  station  and  made  sure  everything  was  in  order.       Why?     I  used  a  large  drill  to  drill  in  the  holes  in  my  whale’s  body  because  I  had  to   make  the  holes  in  wheels  bigger  because  I  drilled  all  the  way  through.  I  used  a   wooden  mallet  to  hammer  in  the  axels  into  my  wheels  because  I  didn’t  think   that  just  glue  and  a  hard  push  would  have  been  enough  to  keep  the  axle  in  the   wheel.  I  used  a  sanding  block  to  sand  the  large  parts  because  it  gets  more   surface,  but  I  used  just  the  paper  to  get  the  tight  part  because  I  can  bend  it.         What’s  Next?       Next  class,  I  will  continue  sanding  until  I  don’t  need  to.    I  think  I  can  get   done  with  all  the  sanding  in  a  period  and  I  can  start  the  painting.  I  will  have  to   paint  in  more  than  one  coat  and  shades,  so  I  probably  won’t  be  able  to  finish   that  either.  But,  I’m  pretty  sure  that  I  can  get  the  sanding  done  and  I  can  begin  
  • 9. the  painting.  I  also  have  to  paint  and  insert  the  wheels.  But  I  look  forward  to  the   rest!     Emotion       I  felt  very  good  about  today’s  lesson.  I  felt  I  took  a  very  big  step  by   finishing  my  wheel’s  and  almost  finishing  my  sanding.  I’m  really  excited  that  I’m   close  to  being  done  and  I  look  forward  to  finishing  sanding,  painting,  and  the   wheels!     AOI  &  Learner  Profile     I  was  a  knowledgeable  because  I  used  my  previous  knowledge  of  the  tools  I   used  by  applying  that  knowledge  today  when  sanding  and  drilling  holes  in  my   whale.     Environment  –  We  are  re-­‐using  wood  and  using  small  pieces  for  other  projects   so  we  don’t  have  to  use  a  different  piece  every  time.                                                        
  • 10. Sanding  &  Painting  My  Whale’s  Body         May  11,  2011       What  I  did:       Today  I  started  a  whole  new  step  in  my  toy  making  process.  First,  I   put  my  apron  on  to  protect  me  from  sharp  edges  and  to  protect  my  clothes  from   dust.  I  also  made  sure  to  put  my  hair  up  so  it  didn’t  get  chopped  off  or  caught  in   anything.  I  didn’t  put  on  my  safety  goggles   yet  because  I  wasn’t  using  a  drill  or   anything  that  shed  a  lot  of  dust  in  the  air   so  I  thought  it  wouldn’t  affect  me  as  much.       Sanding  off  the  extra  rough  edges  of   my  whale’s  body  with  sanding  block.     I  began  with  sanding  again.   Although,  about  halfway  through  the  first   period  I  realized  that  everything  was   smooth.  So  I  asked  the  teacher  and  he  told   me  the  amount  I  had  done  was  really  good  and  I  could  start  painting.  I  examined   my  whale  and  decided  to  paint  the  spout   first.     Using  a  big  brush  and  the  lightest  color   first,  I  painted  the  whale’s  spout  an  almost   white  blue   I  remembered  that  I  always  have  to  paint  the   lighter  colors  first,  so  I  took  out  the  blue  and   white  paint.  I  took  out  two  paintbrushes,  one   small,  and  one  big.  On  the  cardboard,  I  mixed   the  blue   and   white  paint  to  get  a  slightly  tinted  blue   shade.  I  made  sure  to  paint  all  in  the  same   direction  so  the  paint  wouldn’t  glob  our   look  ugly.     Using  a  big  brush  and  continuing  to   paint  with  the  lighter  colors  first,  I   painted  the  whale’s  body                 I  did  this  on  both  sides  with  the  big  brush,   and  switched  to  the  small  one  when  I  had  to  go  in  between  the  spout  and  body.    
  • 11.   Once  I  was  done  with  the  spout,  I  moved  on  to  the  second  lightest  color,   which  was  the  part  of  the  whale’s  body  that  didn’t  have  water  painted  on.  I   added  more  blue  to  the  paint  mix  this  time,  giving  me  a  good  shade.  This  took   me  the  longest  because  not  only  did  I  have  many  tight  spaces,  but  I  also  had  to   be  careful  when  painting  near  the  water  section  because  I  didn’t  want  to  paint   on  it.         After  this,  I  only  had  about  ten   minutes  left  but  I  quickly  added  a   lot  more  blue  to  the  mix,  creating   a  very  dark  blue,  and  began   painting  the  water.       Using  a  big  brush  and  doing   the  darkest  color  last,  I  painted   the  ocean  on  my  whale,       I  did  not  finish  this  but  I  almost   did.  I  had  to  be  careful  when   painting  the  edges  of  the  water   because  I  didn’t  want  to  get  the   dark  paint  on  the  lighter  shade.  I  also  accidentally  got  some  of  the  dark  paint  in   the  spout  when  I  was  painting  in  between  but  I  was  told  I  could  sand  that  off.     After  this,  the  class  had  ended,  and  it  was  time  to  pack  up.  I  put  my  apron   away  and  put  up  my  tools.  I  then  re-­‐wrote  my  name  on  my  piece  of  wood  and   put  I  tin  the  Grade  8  Moving  Toy  project  box.  Finally,  I  cleaned  up  my  station   and  made  sure  everything  was  in  order.         Why?     I  used  a  sanding  block  at  the  beginning  of  the  lesson  because  I  need  to   smooth  and  round  out  all  my  edges  to  ensure  my  toy  was  safe  and  good  looking.   I  painted  my  whale  in  different  shades  of  blue  because  I  wanted  the  different   body  parts  to  stand  out.  I  paint  with  two  different  brushes  so  I  didn’t  paint  too   off  the  edges  or  lines.  I  painted  with  the  light  colors  first  because  that  way  if  I   mess  up,  I  can  just  paint  over  it  with  the  darker  color.         What’s  Next?      
  • 12.   In  the  next  lesson,  I  plan  on  finishing  the  body  of  my  whale’s  first  coat.  I   think  I  might  to  let  it  dry  before  putting  on  a  second  coat  so  I’ll  probably  paint   the  wheels  before  I  do  the  second  coat.  Then,  while  the  second  body  coat  is   drying;  I’ll  do  the  second  paint  coat  on  the  wheels.  I  also  need  to  attach  they   eyes  and  draw  the  mouth.  Then  I’ll  be  done  with  painting.  Finally,  I  need  to  sand   the  body  again  and  attach  the  wheels.  Then,  I’m  done.         Emotion       I  felt  very  good  about  today’s  lesson.  Today  I  began  a  whole  new  step  to   my  toy  making  process  and  I  love  seeing  the  whale  colored  and  bright.  I  look   forward  to  finishing  it!         AOI  &  Learner  Profile     I  was  a  knowledgeable  because  I  used  my  previous  knowledge  with  painting  to   properly  and  neatly  paint  my  whale.     Environment  –  We  are  re-­‐using  wood  and  using  small  pieces  for  other  projects   so  we  don’t  have  to  use  a  different  piece  every  time.

Painting  My  Whale’s  Body   May  12,  2011     ``     Today  I  only  did  one  thing.  First,  I  put  my  apron  on  to  protect  me   from  sharp  edges  and  to  protect  my  clothes  from  dust.  I  also  made  sure  to  put   my  hair  up  so  it  didn’t  get  chopped  off  or  caught  in  anything.  I  didn’t  put  on  my   safety  goggles  yet  because  I  wasn’t  using  a   drill  or  anything  that  shed  a  lot  of  dust  in   the  air  so  I  thought  it  wouldn’t  affect  me  as   much.       Painting  my  whale’s  body  a  dark  blue   with  a  large  brush       First  I  pulled  out  all  the  painting   tools  I  need  for  my  whale.  I  got  out  the   cardboard  piece  that  I  mixed  my  paint  on.  I   got  two  paintbrushes,  one  small  and  one   big  brush.  I  also  got  a  little  container  of  water  that  I  could  wet  or  clean  my  brush   with.  I  then  got  my  whale  out  and   examined  it.  I  had  painted  almost  all  of   it   except  for  the  small  little  edges  of   water.  First  I  mixed  the  paint  to  get  the   shade  that  the  water  part  of  the  body   was  painted  of.       Continuing  to  paint  my  whale’s  body  a   dark  blue  with  a  large  brush  and   using  a  painting  cardboard  to  mix  my   paint.    -­‐-­‐>   I  used  this  shade  to  finish  painting  the  body  of  my  whale  besides  the  hard   to  get  places.  For  these  I  once  again  got  my  small  paintbrush  and  began  to  mix   the  paint.  I  needed  the  same  very  dark  shade  of  blue  that  I  used  before  as  water.   I  mixed  very  little  white  with  the  blue  to  get  the  shade  I  was  looking  for.  I  began   painting  those  edges  with  the  paintbrush   very  carefully  so  I  didn’t  get  any  darker  paint   on  the  lighter  parts  of  the  body.  I  also  made   sure  to  paint  in  the  same  direction  to  avoid   making  the  paint  job  look  ugly  and  to  avoid   globs  of  paint  forming.       Using  a  small  brush  to  paint  the  hard  to   get  edges  of  my  whale’s  body    
  • 14.   This  took  up  the  rest  of  the  period  but  I  finished  painting  my  whole   whale’s  body.  Although,  this  is  only  the  first  coat.  I  have  to  do  this  again  and  I   also  have  to  paint  the  wheels  the  same  shade  of  blue  as  the  lower  body  (water   section).  After  this,  the  class  had  ended,  and  it  was  time  to  pack  up.  I  put  my   apron  away  and  put  up  my  tools.  I  then  re-­‐wrote  my  name  on  my  piece  of  wood   and  put  I  tin  the  Grade  8  Moving  Toy  project  box.  Finally,  I  cleaned  up  my   station  and  made  sure  everything  was  in  order.         Why?       I  used  the  darker  shade  of  blue  on  the  lower  body  because  I  needed  some   contrast  in  between  the  colors  to  show  that  the  whale  was  swimming,  and  that   the  darker  shade  is  the  water.  I  painted  in  all  the  same  directions  so  that  the   paint  job  would  look  professional  and  not  ugly  and  also  so  the  paint  wouldn’t   glob  and  layer  unevenly.  I  used  the  large  paintbrush  to  paint  the  large  areas   because  it’s  less  time  consuming  and  looks  better.  I  also  used  a  small  brush  to   paint  the  small  and  hard  to  reach  areas  because  a  large  paintbrush  might   accidently  paint  the  wrong  places  or  mess  up  the  paint  job.       What’s  Next?       In  the  next  lesson,  I  plan  on  painting  and  finishing  the  wheels.  I  will  paint   these  the  same  color  as  my  whales  lower  body  (water  or  ocean  section).  This   will  be  a  very  dark  blue.  Although  I  will  not  paint  the  entire  wheel  because  some   of  it  won’t  even  be  seen  so  there  is  no  point.  I  will  also  paint  the  second  coat  on   both  the  body  and  wheels.  After  that,  I  have  to  assemble  the  body  and  I’m  done!   I  look  forward  to  finishing  it.       Emotion           I  felt  good  about  today’s  lesson.  I  finished  the  first  complete  coat  of  my   whale’s  body.  This  to  me  shows  progress  in  my  work.  This  makes  me  very   happy,  fulfilled,  and  excited  for  my  work  and  what’s  happening  next.         AOI  &  Learner  Profile

  • 18. Sanding  and  Painting  My  Whale’s  Body  &  Wheels   May  18,  2011       Today  I  mostly  painted  but  I  sanded  as  well.  First,  I  put  my  apron  on  to   protect  me  from  sharp  edges  and  to  protect  my  clothes  from  dust.  I  also  made   sure  to  put  my  hair  up  so  it  didn’t  get  chopped  off  or  caught  in  anything.  I  didn’t   put  on  my  safety  goggles  yet  because  I  wasn’t   using  a  drill  or  anything  that  shed  a  lot  of   dust  in  the  air  so  I  thought  it  wouldn’t  affect   me  as  much.       Using  sand  paper  to  sand  the  rough   lines  of  my  whale’s  first  coat  of  paint.       First  I  pulled  out  all  my  painting  and   sanding  tools  and  examined  my  toy.  I  decided   that  I  needed  to  sand  the  layer  of  paint  on  my   whale  and  then  repaint  some  of  the  in   touched  parts.  So,  I  proceed  to  sand  my  wheel  for  about  ten  minutes.  After  my   whale’s  body  was  smooth,  I  started   retouching  up  the  areas  that  the  nail  board   had  damaged  or  just  area  that  needed  to   look  better.  I  did  this  on  the  second  and   third  section  of  my  whale,  and  plan  on   doing  the  spout  tomorrow  because  it  only   needs  a  couple  fixes.     Filling  in  the  holes  of  my  wheel  and  then   sanding  it  off  to  get  an  even  surface   After  this,  one  whole  period  had   ended.  I  need  to  paint  my  wheels  so  I  got   the  paint  ready.  Although  realized  two  things   needed  to  be  fixed.  One,  I  had  to  drill  the  large   hole  for  m$y  axle  in  my  other  regular  wheel,   and  also  fill  in  the  holes  that  will  be  showing   on  the  outside  of  the  wheel  in  with  wood   paste.  I  did  this  and  sanded  off  the  extra  bits   to  make  it  flat.  Then,  I  drilled  the  hole  into  my   wheel  using  a  pedestal  drill  and  a  large  drill.  I  did  not  got  all  the  way  through   this  time.     Once  I  was  done  with  this,  I  started  painting  my  wheels.  I  decided  to  paint   all  around  the  wheel  except  for  a  bit  off  the  edge  of  the  axles.  I  did  this  just  in   case  the  wood  in  the  back  showed  when  rolling.  Painting  the  wheels  without  
  • 19. axles  was  hard  because  I  had  to  wet   paint  all  over  the  wheel  and  putting  it  in   a  position  I  could  paint  in  without   getting  all  over  the  place  was  hard.     Fixing  any  little  mistakes  on  my   whale’s  body.          This  took  up  the  rest  of  the   period.             Using  a  pedestal  drill  to  drill  the  hole  where  my   axle  should  go  in  my  normal  wheel.   After  this,  the  class  had  ended,  and  it  was  time   to  pack  up.  I  put  my  apron  away  and  put  up  my  tools.  I   then  re-­‐wrote  my  name  on  my  piece  of  wood  and  put  I   in  the  Grade  8  Moving  Toy  project  box.  Finally,  I   cleaned  up  my  station  and  made  sure  everything  was   in  order.                         Painting  my  wheels  with  the  color  of  the   ocean.       Why?       I  sanded  my  whale  before  I  painted  again  because  when  I  sand  off  the   roughness,  it  creates  a  new  pattern  in  the  wood.  When  I  paint  the  next  layer,  the   paint  I  used  then  should  fill  in  the  new  pattern,  creating  a  fairly  smooth  surface.   I  re-­‐painted  many  of  the  sections  of  my  whale  so  everything  looked  even  and   nice.  Also,  so  the  paint  would  last  longer.  I  used  wood  paste  to  fill  in  the  holes  of   my  wheels  because  the  paste  can  mold  into  a  position,  stay,  and  be  sanded  flat  
  • 20. to  fill  in  the  hole  perfectly  so  my  toy  looks  nicer.  I  drill  the  final  hole  one  of  my   regular  wheels  because  the  axle  needs  o  be  able  to  fit  in  the  wheel.         What’s  Next?       In  the  nest  period,  I  will  finish  all  the  painting  and  sanding  needed  to  be   done  on  the  body.  I  will  also  paint  the  second  coat  on  my  wheels.  This  is  all  I   predict  I  can  get  done  in  one  period.  After  that  though,  I  need  to  assemble  the   body,  glue  on  the  eyes,  and  draw  the  face  on  my  whale.  Then  I  will  be  done!         Emotion       I  had  mixed  feelings  about  this  lesson.  I’m  getting  sick  of  painting  the   body,  but  I  know  I’m  almost  done.  I’m  happy  I  painted  the  wheels  though.  I’m   looking  forward  to  the  next  lesson  because  I  know  I  can  get  a  lot  done!       AOI  &  Learner  Profile     I  was  a  knowledgeable  because  I  used  my  previous  knowledge  with  painting  to   properly  and  neatly  to  paint  my  whale.  Also  I  used  my  previous  knowledge  with   the  pedestal  drill  to  drill  a  hole  in  my  wheel.       Environment  –  We  are  re-­‐using  wood  and  using  small  pieces  for  other  projects   so  we  don’t  have  to  use  a  different  piece  every  time.
