Summer at last.The teacher has set her boats a sail. My sister-in-law discovered your blog last fall, forwarded the address right away with this message: “This sounds perfect for Waterhouse”. She was right, of course.
This past winter, twelve students, aged 9 through 14, in my arts based home school cooperative each created a paper boat embellished with pages torn from the dictionary, complete with a tiny “lifeboat of words” and an original poem on a ghost ship of velum. The children lovedthis creative endeavor. Later in the spring, five of my students who participated in a longer, one-day workshop, crafted paper boats inspired by Henri Matisse’s Goldfish. The children are thrilled that their boats are sailing to Scotland.
I wish we could take a field trip to Caithness for the fundraising event, but am grateful for the virtual opportunity.
Many thanks. Kim Bredberg, Director, Waterhouse, California. USA
