Keeping with the South African theme, we were treated to the South African National Anthem - not an easy feat: <br />
The lyrics employ the five most widely spoken of South Africa's eleven official languages - Xhosa (first stanza, first two lines), Zulu (first stanza, last two lines),Sesotho (second stanza), Africaans (third stanza) and English (final stanza). <br />
French teacher, Edith Neal, wrote and directed the children in a play about the Ndebele of South Africa - based on the history of how several ethnic groups came together and unified into the Ndebele ethnic group that we know today.

We were first welcomed by two Ideal students who escorted guests up the stairs and handed our programs.<br />
We heard the drumming of Ugandan musician Daniel Ssuuna. He set the stage by organizing a small group of students to participate in the drumming and we all enjoyed.

We've had two more days of putting the final touches on the mural: a rooftop, a chicken, and an airplane! Thanks Guillermo Zaleya, the very patient volunteer parent who helped us mount the entire wall piece! And Edwin Zaleya for the airplane, and Mama Freeman for the chicken design!<br />

We will be having the official presentation next Wednesday at 10:00 am at the school. The students have prepared a skit based on the Ndebele of South Africa, written by Edith Neal, French teacher, and a special song led by Faith Marshall, Music teacher (I hear that several songs are on the agenda: Lift Every Voice and Sing and the National Anthem of South Africa)....it will be a great coming together of the community - as we said in the beginning of the project, ...A mural is more than just paint on a wall!<br />

We spent the day (Monday) and part of the evening installing the mural boards and it took alot of hands to put the puzzle pieces together. Some of the younger students signed their names on the back of the boards before we attached them to the wall (you know who you are!) - ladders, nail gun, paint, snacks (thanks Karen) and a labor of love....all that's left is the roof line and a few extras - you'll be surprised at the unveiling on June 16th!African Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13023066587374130744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340024905289878304.post-41454597929234248002010-05-30T18:52:00.000-07:002010-05-30T18:52:13.384-07:00Where do we put the airplane?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl1eSIZdVnqaVqG9j81g68EmE8vpPSDdIwQ-Ag_qpT5JyYb2VD8hoxoHES_PdUNGvVBvaZiC3EpX5Af3rS-TJ0TgQbqSqtxf2IBAsA0IRfdMbgq2lHOy1HAEX2WZYwmVMWKXMxgMmSo44/s1600/P5270040.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl1eSIZdVnqaVqG9j81g68EmE8vpPSDdIwQ-Ag_qpT5JyYb2VD8hoxoHES_PdUNGvVBvaZiC3EpX5Af3rS-TJ0TgQbqSqtxf2IBAsA0IRfdMbgq2lHOy1HAEX2WZYwmVMWKXMxgMmSo44/s320/P5270040.JPG" /></a></div>African Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13023066587374130744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340024905289878304.post-36930793810403067832010-05-30T18:51:00.000-07:002010-05-30T18:51:15.167-07:00Fitting all the pieces together takes time!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8TvNggItv-z4PpXUHVal-6IeioGlyLFXCsAWkRqNlsER7E_SYCDjrmoxabxqdUaGcY67S-TYOW2NWk8VZUgHiMyYpjYbVSz7JxRoAS1bi7DwMNqQQBQNozgC71hPBe9qQOOSZDRLTxQU/s1600/P5270010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8TvNggItv-z4PpXUHVal-6IeioGlyLFXCsAWkRqNlsER7E_SYCDjrmoxabxqdUaGcY67S-TYOW2NWk8VZUgHiMyYpjYbVSz7JxRoAS1bi7DwMNqQQBQNozgC71hPBe9qQOOSZDRLTxQU/s320/P5270010.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO4dPs-6ICc_ldcUJjV05TN55H0TffTQswfEQe6O0f8sv1tTsncQT1G6a-obNsbmrSGntVR9ZsG7O56TlFEA1Iwitf-a3wwJElyhVF0XTx2_vaDq5YyGiNsvIfG0p-A0sqw70Z0p4aVuA/s1600/P5270009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO4dPs-6ICc_ldcUJjV05TN55H0TffTQswfEQe6O0f8sv1tTsncQT1G6a-obNsbmrSGntVR9ZsG7O56TlFEA1Iwitf-a3wwJElyhVF0XTx2_vaDq5YyGiNsvIfG0p-A0sqw70Z0p4aVuA/s320/P5270009.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIKY6fk2dsX-QjDpWTxVtLdkdd83KgT-MXfWDHYV_L0eTIIWLgIJSk_kSo3yntDQP0jwEsM7dBotduP5b6uL8ab3H98DmBy9gz_3pUmpyhEwy00tBPgBGIrq4hdfswnkp-Na2hOOkE0m0/s1600/P5270041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIKY6fk2dsX-QjDpWTxVtLdkdd83KgT-MXfWDHYV_L0eTIIWLgIJSk_kSo3yntDQP0jwEsM7dBotduP5b6uL8ab3H98DmBy9gz_3pUmpyhEwy00tBPgBGIrq4hdfswnkp-Na2hOOkE0m0/s320/P5270041.JPG" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TMuUawQf6l-wvSg22sYeJHTBFl07_9pnARM3vw7us3-8VE_i8f0ntKmNe0ozCAGcgLihdvFYWNmQHbbrCw4Ey4j3cjnVYzoTdwD3LEz_2aLkZTUguCjVRVSigEOEZE83gTDizF8zGNI/s1600/P5270022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TMuUawQf6l-wvSg22sYeJHTBFl07_9pnARM3vw7us3-8VE_i8f0ntKmNe0ozCAGcgLihdvFYWNmQHbbrCw4Ey4j3cjnVYzoTdwD3LEz_2aLkZTUguCjVRVSigEOEZE83gTDizF8zGNI/s320/P5270022.JPG" /></a><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">As all the painted and collaged panels come together as parts of the whole, we demonstrate unity in diversity! We had enthusiastic students volunteer to help every day we were able to work on the mural project - Mama Dobbins has been especially helpful keeping us informed about testing schedules and end of year events. Mama Freeman continues to inspire the young artists in her classroom and help us incorporate lessons learned through the mural project into the classroom - reinforcing the theme of community and cooperation. </span>African Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13023066587374130744noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340024905289878304.post-74505223815526846972010-05-01T12:32:00.000-07:002010-05-01T12:32:56.363-07:00High School Helpers and Someone Special!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsg0gkgEPIHHe0yz2G1khMYQWZf-S6-wFBPH_Lsv89jfymqeVqyiaF8JxElP8kP7rOn23CPFLhrlfE_r5CNJxHgbCCv2T7vnJCj7J5ILMF_mGA55bGEQ1BKQeGYCXgO7O3Z0aGorgEJnE/s1600/DSCN0179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsg0gkgEPIHHe0yz2G1khMYQWZf-S6-wFBPH_Lsv89jfymqeVqyiaF8JxElP8kP7rOn23CPFLhrlfE_r5CNJxHgbCCv2T7vnJCj7J5ILMF_mGA55bGEQ1BKQeGYCXgO7O3Z0aGorgEJnE/s320/DSCN0179.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZimDFozmC-ngHzUU0Vlgb6uZkKz5LjCdUcmLrDcHHecG15NaUGicSKdfvDgxr9sh9oE4nzmTR154cmw1XxSt3lSWkvR8-YpbaoX02FpXcvghRbVuxpbFxyrCIehy9-AZ2D6WdrMposR4/s1600/DSCN0179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

Small steps to a big design. Mama Freeman is so talented! Now we are ready to get all the designs on - two areas done with geometric shapes, edges taped, ready for great colors... 16? more to go! School is on break this week...perhaps some of us will go to school anyway - the excitement to see the final installation by April!? is carrying us along...more laterrrr.

The snow nearly hit a record (and did in some areas) and we have been digging out since Saturday. There is so much snow and dangerous ice/roads that even the National Museum of African Art Smithsonian has been closed for two days. I hope that the students from Ideal Academy are having some fun in the snow (sledding anyone?) building a snowman, and keeping warm!
