The third graders did an amazing job turning their original designs into beautiful ground murals for our entire community to enjoy! These murals of a four-square and hopscotch not only provide a fun place for all students to play during recess, but also bring visual representation of Saklan/Bay Miwok culture onto our campus.
These murals are the final public product from the 3rd grade PBL unit, which helped them to answer their driving question of “How can we show respect to the people whose ancestral land our school is on?” When the third graders met with Vincent and Louis (owners of Cafe Ohlone) earlier this year and asked them this question, they said one way was to have images on campus that represent Saklan culture. The third graders worked with Lauren in art to create designs that were accurate and detailed. Local artists Tia and Paul Kratter helped to turn the students’ designs into reality and worked with the third graders to paint the murals.
