Pirate ship with cannon and a moveable ship's wheel.

Roger's Indian Diarama. The 3rd-graders study different
groups of California Indians and then make diaramas illustrating
a particular group.
Alan saw Roger's classes diaramas on Open House night and noted the village hinted
in the background of Roger's diarama. So he decided the next day
at school to create that village.
On the next to last day of school, Allyson Rock (aide in
Alan's class) brought in her family pet, Rocky.
Alan really liked Rocky so...
... he made Rocky a house (with pawprint carpet), 2 bones, and
a cat to play with.
Roger liked Rocky, too.
