Today we are doing a few different things. A few people are outside measuring the pond every five feet to get a better sense of what we are working with. Borghi went kayaking to the middle of the pond in order to seek the depth of the pond. Danny, with the help of others, is building 20 trapezoids out of wood. Each one he makes must be bigger than the one he made before it. We are planning to line the trapezoids up, and then put wood over them. They are suppose to make the bridge sturdy. We pretty much devoted the whole class time today to building these 20 trapezoids. There is a lot of sawing and screwing included into today. We were able to get the third and fourth trapezoids into he pond covering about 20 feet leaving us with 16 more to go. The 20 foot bridge was tested and walked on by Ellis. The sturdiness of the bridge was better than before and the class is determined to get this bridge across the floor.
