Mariposas Monarcas, Calaveras and IB

This last week has been incredibly full!

On Friday our Symbolic Monarchs went on their way to Angangueo, Mexico, a little town in the middle of the monarch sanctuaries. If you want to keep track of the Monarch migration and other information pertinent to the Monarch's check in occasionally with the Symbolic Migration 2014-2015

On Saturday I spent the afternoon hanging the high school students work at Lawndale Art Center for the 27th Annual Días de los Muertos celebration. It takes place from October 20 to November 8th.

I followed that up with Visual Arts IB training on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

I don't know why I don't remember having a weekend!
