The 12 Days Of Making


**sung to the tune of Jingle Bells The Twelve Days of Christmas**

On the First Day of Making, my students made with me
An unfinished blueprint or three

On the Second Day of Making, my students made with me
Two safety gloves
And an unfinished blueprint or three

On the Third Day of Making, my students made with me
Three fresh plans
Two safety gloves
And a more finished blueprint or three

On the Fourth Day of Making, my students made with me
Four falling builds
Three fresh plans
Two safety gloves
And a more finished blueprint or three

On the Fifth Day of Making, my students made with me
Five Well Made Things
Four falling builds
Three fresh plans
Two safety gloves
And a more finished blueprint or three

On the Sixth Day of Making, my students made with me
Six bases laying
Five Well Made Things
Four falling builds
Three fresh plans
Two safety gloves
And a more finished blueprint or three

On the Seventh Day of Making, my students made with me
Seven switches switching
Six bases laying
Five Well Made Things
Four falling builds
Three fresh plans
Two safety gloves
And a more finished blueprint or three

On the Eighth Day of Making, my students made with me
Eight grades a-sloping
Seven switches switching
Six bases laying

Four falling builds
Three fresh plans
Two safety gloves
And a more finished blueprint or three

On the Ninth Day of Making, my students made with me

Four falling builds
Three fresh plans
Two safety gloves
And a nearly finished blueprint or three

Seven switches switching
Six bases laying
Five Well Made Things
Four falling builds
Three fresh plans

Eleven triers trying
Ten minds a-leaping

Two safety gloves
And a nearly finished blueprint or three

On the Twelfth Day of Making, my students made with me
Twelve dreamers dreaming
Eleven triers trying
Ten minds a-leaping
Nine chances taking
Eight grades a-sloping
Seven switches switching
Six bases laying
Five Well Made Things
Four falling builds
Three fresh plans
Two safety gloves
And a perfect finished blueprint or three
