Last week our class had a very special experience as we worked with Abenaki Artist and Ethnobotanist, Judy Dow. We spent time exploring the idea of how stories of the land and people can help us to inform our future stories. We worked in mediums such as fabric, plaster, hide burning, and watercolor to create different maps of stories and went on some epic walks to learn stories of the land around us. We also got an opportunity to try out throwing an Atlatl (harder than you would think!). We look forward to sharing our work with the community at UES on Thursday, March 31 from 6-8 p.m.
Also, parent conferences are coming up on April 1 so students will have that day off. Here is a link to a sign-up sheet so that you can sign up online. This conference is not a student led one so it is not required that your student accompanies you although it can be helpful for the student to be part of the conversation.
