Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
Since I’m not teaching this week (or next!) I thought now would be a good time to mention the work Lokahi has been doing after school this fall. I’ve been teaching at Longfellow Elementary School in Pasadena the past several months, in addition to the other campaign and tour work I do. Lokahi has long been involved with the after school community – we’ve been working with the Pasadena Unified School District (under our after school program name of Turning Tables) for nearly five years now. Our curriculum specializes in project based learning that teaches our students about community service, global issues, and civics while also building their science, literary arts and artistic skills.
This past fall, I’ve partnered with my good friend Elizabeth Converse, and her program, California Living Histories, or ‘CLH’ as it’s known by our students! We’ve been introducing our students to art from all around the world, teaching them about lesser known artists that used their work to make a social statement, and in some cases, change the world.
I’ll be blogging more about our student art work in the upcoming weeks, as Lokahi starts to roll out it’s new curriculum. In the meantime, feel free to email us for more info on our after school program, and check out some of our photos of our students work and them in action!
