The installation is up high, hanging from the ceiling and adorning the alcoves above doorways. Paper machet sea creatures dangle from wire or string, while coral and sea grass provide homes on the wall for the 2-D fish they made with the markers or paint.

We watched video shorts, read articles and had conversations about what each of us can do to help. They saw how young people can have power when we watched Greta Thunberg address the UN Climate Summit. Last week, we started adding bits of trash to the installation which we will remove tomorrow for Earth Day - our own great ocean clean up. While making the installation, we talked about climate justice, which leads right into our next project that includes installing a giant paper pipeline that will dominate the hallways as we prepare for Native American Heritage Month in May. \r\n\r\nIn addition to projects detailed above, kids always have designated free-art in the class.
