Drama Creates their set

Today, drama painted beautifully colored set pieces to be part of their "All the Rice in India" play. Catch the performance at the GOAL group presentations in a couple of weeks.

A different perspective on art...

Sanderson's class works on perspective paintings.

"we had to use a horizon line and then we put a dot which is called a vanishing point. We also made trees and buildings that get smaller. It looks like it's going away into the distance."
-Ive Chowdhury, Ms. Sanderson's Art Class

Ms. Elyse's last day

Today was Ms. Elyse's last day at GOAL, but she promises to stop by Saturday GOAL soon.

Thank you for spending time with us at GOAL, Elyse. You will be missed!!

Cooking with Katzie

Today, Martino's group cooked some DELICIOUS food with Katzie. Here you'll see students whipping together some delicious berry/fresh whipped cream/ meringue dessert. Below that, catch a peek of some chopping action as students prep for the main dish: breakfast for dinner! We were amazed to discover a new vegetable today... Sea Beans! They look a little like seaweed and grow in salt marshes so are very salty. We used it in our scrambled eggs as a healthy alternative to loading on the table salt. Wonderful! There was also a kale salad (Ms. Angel's favorite veggie! All my juicers know kale is PACKED with nutrients.) Overall, it was a delicious and healthy meal. Thanks Katzie!
