Last Sunday, we got to make canoes with Mylene and Nestor along with meditation and a small presentation as well. The idea behind my bottle was that I wanted to created something out of pure recycled material but still make it aesthetically pleasing. I tried to mix old and new by cutting off the bottom of a sparkling water bottle to use as a propeller in case paddles fail. I also managed to make a bridge over the boat with raffia and styrofoam to symbolize new beginnings. I feel like I've put the most effort into the project out of all the ones we've done so far because it represented me the most. I think a really smart idea that Mylene introduced as well was drawing the canoes if we didn't feel comfortable building one. I'm sure that this will be really popular with kids because it's totally open ended and a great way to bring your imagination to life, in 3-D.
