International Wetlands Day is February 2nd. Several weeks before that date, I proposed to the folks running summer school that we have a drawing contest and the winners paint a wetlands mural outside the school. We did it, but it wasn't accomplished until the end of February with lots of running around, reminding, and a bit of begging. Still, I'm happy with the result and the kids had a fun time.
This is what I painted to start with. Lago Chinchaycocha!
Then kiddos came to paint wetlands animals. Big kids and little kids, big and small animals.
We got really popular.
Here's the finished product. I think it turned out great and am pretty excited that there's some sort of physical evidence that I've existed in my town.
