Love Those Schools, cont. . . .

One of the bonuses

of living in Maine

and visiting schools in Maine

is that the scenery

is always

magnificent

and the people

are ultra-friendly.

Lured by Island Readers & Writers

recently I visited schools 

in Jonesport and Beals Island.

They've been studying The Wanderer

and have developed so many wonderful projects 

based on their year-long theme:

Navigating the Storm.

Science, health, literature, art, math, music

incorporating all disciplines:

Wow!

Below are some of the art projects.

I wish I could have included photos

of all the other projects

but at some point

I put away my camera

and merely drooled.

(More photos at above link to Island Readers and Writers)

Tied into the above weaving

are individual scrolls

on which students had written

private messages about their own storms.

Thank you all, for an inspiring visit!
