Miramar preschoolers and seniors celebrated the arrival of winter last month with NatGeo educator and artist Tara Chadwick as part of Papalotl Project's ongoing "Art of Gardening" collaboration with Miramar Community Services Department. Scholars and lifelong learners continued their immersion in an integrated art, science and literacy experience incorporating rhythm, movement, storytelling, earth study, seasonal migration and hibernation. Previous topics of pollinators, plant parts and favorite foods were continued as word that the symbolic butterflies we colored together in September were received by a kindergarten class at the edge of the Hemispheric Biosphere Monarch Reserve in Mexico. This spring as we turn our attention to water, soil, seed planting and more favorite recipes, we look forward to keeping our eye out for returning real and symbolic butterflies. (At the same time as Tara's large scale digital work "Matriarch's Grandchild" is on display at Art Expo NYC in the SOHO arts district of Manhattan.) Upcoming opportunities for public participation will be posted at http://www.instagram.com/papalotlproject.
