 So today we had side-by-side come for a celebration of learning for our second grade. Side-by-side works with every single grade level here, K through 5, so we have six units here at our school. And today's second grade got to celebrate with Dr. Sneedalbaum, who came from Papua, New Guinea, to work with our kids to create landforms so that they could study how landforms are impacted by global warming and climate change. Side-by-side works with schools to bring art into just the classroom. It's not separate in the art classroom, it's right in with the teaching artists that are working with the elementary teachers in their classrooms, so they're part of it too. The project is called Landforms, Earth Changes. So we had to find a project where the children felt that they were collaborating with us as artists. We were coming in and telling to the project, but we're together, we are creating. We have a common mission, because I believe when you share a common mission with children, when they take something seriously, they'll really go beyond. So we had to combine math with the data for measuring our landforms. We had to, I do movement, so we learned body dance and theater, and I'm a sculptor, so they worked with me to sculpt the landforms, and they worked with my friend Jamie to draw the landforms. So it's all-encompassing, and throughout the, and through the letter exchanges, we talk about geography and the world, and about science. So the letters and a lot of the interaction makes, we really could build in a lot of the other topics we need to touch. The first thing we saw happen was a slideshow, and the slideshow took us through the journey of getting our letters from Professor Sneedalbaum, who was studying in Papua New Guinea, and then was doing some field research in Turkey, and he had like a seven-week correspondence with our students. So we got these letters, and he kept asking questions about landforms, and so that drove the students to do some research on their landforms that they were assigned. And then so that was the first part of the slideshow. And then we got to see the landforms come to life, first through drawing, and then through making them with paper mache. I thought that the presentation today was absolutely magnificent in many ways. I thought the use of art in any form of scientific study is a sensory, and what we've seen today, the approach of dancing, the approach of music, the intercommunication, and linked to a scientific study of landform, which is directly linked also to mathematics. They use mathematics in everything that they've done, the scale, the 3D modeling, and you've seen at the end how they've used also fiber optics and respecting and understanding the relationship between the nature and what they were doing as a very experiential, hands-on project is very essential in the process of learning in itself. Then each student came up, and as a group, they're a little group that worked on the sculptures together. They came up and performed a little physical movement piece that they had worked on with Pamela. They presented their work to Professor Sneedalbaum, going up on the stage, and he would take measurements, he would comment on the work, on how the hoodoos look like hoodoos, and the different formations like the canyon's arches. Here at Ocean Avenue School, we have a lot of arts that come into the school, and we go out to explore. Side by side, Ocean Avenue becoming a side-by-side school a couple years back has been phenomenal that we have had visiting artists into our school every year for every grade level, so every child gets to work with a visiting artist every year, and going deeper into their learning, so it could be about learning about immigration, it could be a social studies or a science project, it could be a language arts project, creating books, that kids get to explore that, they get to think about it, and they get to think about it through art, so that they understand it at a deeper level. They get to translate it out for others so others can understand what they learned. The University of Papua New Guinea has always extended because of its geographical location, partnerships throughout the world, and we came to talk with the side-by-side on this landform project, because I'm going to a geopolitical geo-conference in Toronto next week, and as I needed some data to collect. We had the idea of having some of the kids collect the data and work on it, so I could illustrate my work with the work of students. It's like having a spoonful of sugar, a little art makes every subject fun, and you really can art, can totally be incorporated into every subject, it just enhances it, it builds around it, it's creating a sculpture around the subject.
