Today I went to the Chilmark Preschool, and worked with the students during their day. I was there for morning meeting, playground time, regular play time, lunch and nap time. My favorite part of the day is morning meeting, when everyone sits on the rug together and listens to the mindfulness bell. Heather passes around a small rock and each student turns to their peer on their left and right and says good morning. I've noticed that eye contact and saying the person's name is very important to the morning meeting. It creates a sense of community and connectivity.

I spent these last couple weeks in the photo room with Mr. Baer, learning how to edit voice memos and sound bits. I also learned more about photoshop and portrait photography. I printed all my photos on small letter sized pieces of paper, but then decided I wanted to present the photographs with the sound on top of them. I then asked Ms. Todd for help with iMovie and other editing programs to create my final slideshow.
