working hard, hardly working

Reading The Great Paper Caper after park time brought up a conversation about how much paper the Flying Fish have been using in their exploration of flight. They brainstormed ways of using less paper and proposed planting trees to off set all of the paper that they've used.Inspired by this video of the new world record distance for an airplane throw, the Flying Fish taped a racetrack on the cork floor to test how far they could throw their own paper airplanes.It was a beautiful moment of collaboration as each fish carved out their role in the event.Clem and Bruno held up the finish line and both acted as judges, Logan and Bruno taped down the track as Ben and Aidan folded planes to fly in the contest. The final show is going to be tomorrow between 12:30 and Noon!After a meeting at Coffee Bar, the Ninja Cats worked on their projects: researching, drawing, watching videos, taking notes, prototyping.The Undead Goats headed out to the Sutro Baths to hike and explore, even in the cold and the rain.They came back to school with tales of the sun coming out just as they were about to return home, gigantic cliffs and craggy rocks, and waves that reached up and over their rocky shelters to drench them in seawater.
