We are nearing the end of the summer school project I designed for Newark Public Schools. I had the task of designing the primary grade literacy summer school for children in rising grades 1-4. These were images I made during the five weeks of learning. It was a privilege to work alongside the children and their teachers each day. I learned so much from them. Will post more about this. But for now allow me to simply say that preventing reading difficulties is so very doable and has as much to do with love, as it does with knowledge.

ReplyDeleteThanks Jane. Will be posting brief videos of learning soon.
Deleteanother testament to the multitude of stories held in photos. i recognize the second song as randy newman. the first one was beautiful, although i didn't recognize it.
ReplyDeletei was reminded also of the role of curation in organizing the adjacency of images -- something that called out to me during a documentary about the barnes art collection that was on tv tonight.
thank you for sharing.
Thanks . I posted the music above.
DeleteOh! I should've guessed! Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThis was the district's regular summer school. I just designed within the constraints of their funding,
