Week 17

This week, we had a visit from one of this year's artist-in-residences, Laura Wong-Whitebear. Laura is the executive director of the Northwest Native American Basketweavers Association. Ms Laura shared two songs with each class, and we got to see her collection of baskets from Native American tribes around the United States. When she returns next week, Ms Laura will continue teaching us some songs, and each class will have a chance to try some basic weaving techniques with paper. These will be displayed in the third floor hallway, along with pictures from Ms Laura's visit. Please stop by the music room in a couple of weeks to see them!
