Today, we're not working on skateboards; we have a lot to do, and little time to do it. We have only finished the middle section of the roadbed, so Mr. Bergen has both classes working around the clock, well actually only an hour a day, on the rest of the roadbeds. Both classes are working hard on finishing these roadbeds, and once they're done we get to do the fun stuff, so as you can imagine, both classes are working hard and fast. More to come later!
After a long weekend,the class really only wanted to finish the construction of their skateboards; so that's what Mr. Bergen let them do. Actually, both classes have been working on their skateboards for a very long time, even before the bridge. When the bridge pieces came though, both classes wanted to get a jump start on that, so they kind of put a halt on the skateboard making. Now though, since we're heading towards the end of the year, they want to finish their boards, so that's what we're doing. To catch you up on the status of the bridge, its basically the same as last time. The class finished pouring the pads. More to come Thursday.
Jack Willis designed the bridge. It is his great architectural design that brought us to be building this bridge right now.
