Meadow, Art and Flutes

This is "the meadow" at the school. Unfortunately, there is no grass because it is also the soccer field and the kids play soccer there at least twice a day every day. Last year, they cordoned off the meadow, planted grass, and let it grow for four months. Then they let the kids play soccer on the grass- barefoot only- for one week. After that, they allowed the kids to play soccer wi sneakers on. The grass was gone within four days.


This is Antonio. He has global experience and a grant for teaching kids to make things from recycled materials. Here, he is showing the 8th grade boys a guitar he made from scraps of glass. He sold it for $300 to a local gallery. Kaz hopes to be working with him as part of an after-school workshop after our Easter break, which begins today.

This last picture shows a group of fourth graders playing a song they learned on recorders, thanks to an intern who brought the recorders and taught them how to read the music and play the "flautas."
