Today in Strawberry: We began filming scenes today for the short movies about social movements.  We also had an extended day working on our project for the school auction.  the students have created silk screen designs about our service work, and are printing them onto canvas shopping bags that will be part of the silent auction at the Wrap Party.

There is certainly an end of the year buzz as the projects take over the classroom.
