Wearing PURPLE, GREEN, and GOLD to celebrate “New Orleans Mardi Gras” and the diversity that exists at our SDFAS community, we had a bead parade.
Upon arrival, the Middle and Elementary school students received beaded necklaces. They looked with admiration upon their older school mates as they paraded around the school. By gently placing his or her own necklace around the neck of one of the little ones, they shared a moment of encouragement and a special bond.
he pk2 classes have developed a partnership with the sculptor Jon Koehler, from Jon Koehler sculpture. He has lent the class’ 4 artworks that the class were allowed to explore by touching and observing. They then choose a sculpture that they will talk about either/or describe and tell their feelings about it for the French ministry of Education action called “Mai au musée” (May at the Museum). This year’s subject is Music, so each class will also pair the sculpture of their choice with one or two music. The video realized for that occasion will be part of an online virtual museum with all the artwork chosen by students around the country.
