Some of the supplies | use are paper, pens, colored glass, soft lead, and a glass cutter. First, | make a drawing that’s the size of the whole window. | show the size, shape, and color of each piece. | use my glasscutter to cut out the pieces, and then | join them together with strips of soft lead. Mrs. Young, my teacher, is my best resource for ideas. She's so talented, and all of her windows look beautiful.” Lily says, “Ivan and | both enjoy rock climbing, Ivan’s dad, Mr. Koval, is an expert climber, so he's our best resource. We wear special rock-climbing shoes with soft soles that let you feel the rocks. Of course, we wear helmets to protect our heads and harnesses around our waists and legs. We use ropes to climb and to attach to each other. ‘A couple of days a week we practice on the rock climbing wall at the gym, which is a super resource On weekends, we go out with our climbing club.” Carl says, “Astronomy is my favorite hobby. \'m in the astronomy club at school, so the other kids and our advisor, Ms. O'Brien, are excellent | resources.
