With the pandemic, the tiny trailer project was placed on hold due to a lack of students on campus and in person. The district allowed students to return to campus during the fourth quarter of the school year. I changed my class schedule for this to allow construction in the AM on T, W, & TH's with the PM for students who chose to remain online only. I roughly had on average 5 students in each of the in-person classes from week three through this post in week nine of the quarter. Over the time period, the students spent the first three weeks working on the garden, since no work had been done on that since covid began. In the garden, the students created 9 new raised garden planters, reworked the irrigation to the planters, and installed control valves at each planter. Once we finished the garden area the students then moved on to the tiny home. The goal for the quarter was to complete the installation of the exterior siding before the end of the school year. The group of students I had were motivated and did an outstanding job staying on task to complete the objective. Today the students completed the installation of the vertical trim pieces on the exterior of the building. The last thing that needs to be done before summer vacation sets in is to complete the horizontal trim pieces at the plywood butt joints.
