The Gregmobile!

One of my students stopped by on a Saturday to show me the invention he had been talking about in class. WOW!  This is what comes from not having a TV. 
BTW I teach "remedial" reading. This was a great reminder that not all talents are nourished in school. Clearly this boy, while he may be a struggling reader, has strengths that far outweigh any deficits he may have. Wish his kind of mind was celebrated more in traditional schools.

HAHA, that's pretty neat. Welding isn't easy either so for a kid that age to build something like that is awesome. I think one of the coolest things about this whole story is that a student came by on a Saturday to show his teacher something he built. :)
