Third graders in Jes Ellis’ class at Talbot Elementary School recently wrapped up a Side x Side program that integrated a Wabanaki studies and science unit on the Presumpscot River with printmaking. Called ‘Water Can Speak Through Us’ and led by teaching artist Cat LaBarre, students learned block printing techniques to create fabric banners about the river. The finished banners will be hung in the school to raise awareness of the importance of protecting rivers.
