During Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, four Grade 8 students worked on a Costa Rica themed project in English and Humanities. Abby Grafft and Andy Johnson facilitated and resourced this activity, but the results were those of these students. They did some basic research on Costa Rican rivers and riverine flora and fauna. They took this information and created a “Costa Rican river” mural into which they injected themselves. As you can see in the photos, they are surrounded by the thick forests of Costa Rica while paddling along a river with Class IV rapids. Toucans, alligators and sloths are all part of the scene. While participating in this type of activity is no substitute for travel to Costa Rica, it is an excellent way to share in some of the excitement and to learn a little about the country.
