Not a Box

At his "child-led" parent-teacher conference last week, Gavin showed us his "not-a-box." His class had enjoyed listening to the book, Not a Box, which is about a rabbit who creates a robot and a pirate ship and a race car out of a simple cardboard box.  When asked to use his own imagination with a box, Gavin made a rocket ship.  As he proudly showed us his work of art, I decided to forget that he completely ruined a new shirt while painting it.

Here is a video tour of Gavin's not-a-box.  He, of course, is the tour guide.  I wonder if he will design real rocket ships someday....
