As part of a recent writing project, students dreamed up their own inventions and put their ideas on paper. Mrs. Hale’s father took inspiration from three of those designs and built a one-of-a-kind “stingray table!”
A big thank you to Mrs. Hale’s father for taking the time to turn these students’ ideas into something they can enjoy right in their classroom. 🙌
