Today, Mr. Collins and Ms. Chohan took over Division 1 and 2 and led the students to the Round House for the REEL to REEL International Film Festival for Youth. The students attended workshops for stop-motion animation and drawn-on/etched-film animation. Later, we all participated in a viewing of several short films - Cat Days, Mahalia Melts in the Rain, Your Mother is a Thief, and the Schoolyard Blues. The sun was lovely for our walk, both ways, today! |
