Welcome to the Rainforest
A one week "intersession" between semesters brought the high school students to Brazil! Under the tutelage of Artist-in-Residence, Skher Brown, students learned about Capoeira Angola (Brazilian dance-fight art form) and related music and culture. In the classrooms, they explored Brazil's geography, learned about the Rainforest (and created a stunning paper one on the wall near the high school kitchen, picture on right), danced the Samba, used Google maps to determine how to travel from here to Brazil, and made their own chocolates.
