schoolyard naturalization
Evan’s school is working on a schoolyard naturalization project, with [support from the Calgary Zoo](http://www.calgaryzoo.org/schoolyard_naturalization/) and money raised by parents and grants. The Zoo recently shot a promotional video, and included our school as the representative of the “planning stage”. Evan’s visible in a blur of blue on one shot. We’re working to restore the school’s land from graded-field status to something more natural and useful for education. The kids are pretty excited by the whole process.

it was Zumba Night at Evan’s school. The Zumba instructor had been working with all of the kids for the last few weeks, and wanted to give the parents a chance to shake their stuff. My stuff was shaken.

part of the research for evan’s project on gorillas at school. they went on an all-day field trip to the zoo to study the animals they selected, then have been researching in books and online. next: the habitat diorama!
I think Gorillas in the Mist might be a little intense for an 8 year old…
