James Baldwin Garden
The James Baldwin outside play area is now complete along 117th including a covered play-court, embedded playground equipment and a synthetic grass field. But the best part in my mind are six new planter boxes along with a garden shed and wood compost bins. This was all promised to us 3 years ago in the Baldwin plans. NOTES: Baldwin had a delightful MLK assembly with all students participating. Ms Kopiloff’s 3rd graders put on a play: scenes of MLK speaking; people with protest signs marching around cardboard Washington monument; and the Rosa Parks bus incident. Still teaching science with Ms Kopiloff. Our new unit is biomimicry. How do scientists apply plant and animal traits to make life easier for us? For example, a certain plant seed cluster originated Velcro!
