Our final project with MSSU artist-educator, Amber Mintert, came last Friday with an activity inspired by Nari Ward's We the People 8 ft. x 27 ft. installation at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (below).
Our own project was collaborative, with all of our classes contributing. Mrs. Mintert rewrote the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution to apply to our classes. They made colorful letters on black paper and then added their own letters to the hallway collection to display the full message.
Our project will be on display for an upcoming Family Night at Cecil Floyd. |

Local News Coverage
The Crystal Bridges connection made the local news, although both reports - KSN (below left), and KOAM (below right) coverage - missed the full story of the college/elementary/museum connection, the week-long training teachers took, last summer, at least their stories were positive to our school. I still think the real story should include the children involved, and the students interviewed should have been featured in the story, but the news is their business, and they saw a different angle than I did.
