Wow!! Today was great, the students listened with enthusiam. Margy Knight talked about the different walls around the world and what they meant to their communities. The kids also discussed observations of what was on their "main street". We wanted to know how observant they are of their own surroundings. Margy asked about the color of the fire hydrants, what is the statue in front of the police station, what the numbers on the fire station stood for. Many did not know or remember. It was great, because now kids will really look at their surroundings.

Next week, October 31st, Margy Knight will be coming in to talk with the students. This is when the entire student body and staff will have a introduction to the mural and its purpose. This will be very exciting and the kick off for the Winthrop Middle School Talking Wall.

Who painted on the Mural Today?

This is the mural project that our school is undertaking. This is the beginning of the project and this is how we began. . .
