Twelve Power Girls, began Sunday evening with brief yoga centering activity led by Eduardo (Kim, his middle school Lil Sis, apprenticed). Harmony Brook followed with a "Power Point Appetizer," to introduce newcomers to key story elements from the winning resource text. Meanwhile, her Lil Bro Frederic guided his crew from Professor Bon Tempo's Greenhouse Munchies in the kitchen prepping healthy edible appetizers!
Harmony's powerpoint for The first four years, by Laura Ingalls Wilder, got all twenty-seven participants enthused, circulating, greeting, trying on outfits from Laura's time period, posing for pics, and forming chapter study groups around Harmony's new Medicine Wheel format. And the Greenhouse Munchies catering service had to be very creative to introduce foods from the story period that was balanced with lots of vegetables, fruits, and low healthy fat alternatives (instead of the legacy of lard like the Ingalls and pioneers generally consumed -and worked off- during such circumstances).
Editorial Post Script:
At closing, we collected oral and written feedback from all Twelve Powers Girls. Questions reviewed the text, the food, and the format. Those results will be ready by the end of the week...we sure enjoyed what we saw from our recording studio... Rahul and Nadja.
I am extremely happy that the students are putting to use the knowledge gained in their classes at the Academy. I want to thank you, Superintendent Senora Mia Sorella, for your support of my programs throughout my tenure at Palladio High Road Academy. Sincerely yours, Senor BonTempo P.S. I fear the recent snowfall may strike a crushing blow to the fragile roof of the greenhouse. With whom should I consult to resolve this issue? Grazie, Sr. B
