Tuesday November 6
Most students finished their drawings
yesterday and began painting today. They were quiet and focused.
It was really neat to watch, and their art teacher expressed
amazement that they were so interested and engaged in the project.
Apparently this is not typical, but I'm sure enjoying it. A few more
spoke up and asked for help when they ran into tricky spots. One
student showed me photographs he took while on a hunting trip
northwest of Kyle, SD. Spectacular views of very dramatic badlands
formations. They made Sheep Mountain look a little tame. It was
great to see someone who seemed as jazzed by the landscape as I feel.
Today Cathy, a park ranger, came along
for the ride and to see the school. We had good conversation and a
nice drive. Many deer on the way home today.
