Virtual Event
We’ve teamed up with our friends at Pt. Reyes Books and the Point Reyes National Seashore Association to celebrate the publication of Jazmina Barrera’s On Lighthouses. Jazmina will be joined by Philip Hoare and Stephen Sparks for a conversation about lighthouses, the ocean, and our relationship with peril and safeguarding at the edge of the sea.
Poetry Inside Out
Poetry Inside Out is a collaborative language arts curriculum that celebrates classroom diversity, builds literacy skills, improves critical thinking, and unlocks creativity by teaching students to translate great poetry from around the world. By practicing the art of translation, students become familiar with the building blocks of language and the full range of expression available to them as readers, writers, speakers, thinkers, and world citizens.
