The senior learners are making progress on their projects. Vivi is busy crocheting a shirt, while Nina has designed and sewn two skirts using donated clothing. Dutch is studying photographers and taking photos, and Nate has developed a recipe and baked a healthier version of a pop tart. Aidan is editing sports videos, and Aylin is creating beats of different lengths. Sophia has made a timeline of the modern prison system, starting with slavery, whereas Augie has created a timeline of Judaism and identified several Jewish foods that represent part of the Jewish story. Indie is researching and growing mushrooms, Jazzy is testing tricks with her older dog while learning about animal behavior, and Ava has baked croissants and cream puffs with plans to bake more French pastries. Everyone is hard at work and learning a great deal.

We are fully engaged in our Senior Learner Projects. Each class member is embarking on an ambitious long-term project that aims to develop their expertise and culminate in a performance or presentation for a larger audience at the end of the year. In May, we will invite local community members to view and evaluate these culminating presentations, which highlight the extensive work involved.

The performance at Watermill Center was a huge success. From beginning to end, the kids worked hard, collaborated with and supported one another, and immersed themselves in the artistic process with maturity and poise. During the question and answer period, the kids expressed their commitment to the project and appreciation for the opportunity to work with Lora and Bran in the beautiful Watermill Center.
