back in the swing of things

What a week! We can hardly believe it was spring break last week - everyone was busily working on project declarations, more mirror experiments and explorations, and getting back into the swing of things. Today was one of the better Community Fridays - everyone gathered in the dining room and art studio areas and there was a happy buzz of thinking interesting thoughts, doing cool things, and being together.The art studio hummed with monochromatic paintings and castle decoration.The Hummingbirds hosted a foot soak and relaxation station.Some of the boys played nearby.Ariel, our favorite game designer, hosted a game test with several students for a fellow game designer. Apparently the game is a combination of Monopoly and Settlers of Cataan.Many students continued work on their declarations and research papers, like Aidan, and some even were approved by Ellen and Gever in meetings this morning!We're looking forward to a brief restful weekend, and then back at it on Monday!
