“Nature alone is antique, and the oldest art a mushroom.”

Thomas Carlyle

Welcome to Week 5 of Session 5! As we reach the culmination of our quest to grow mushrooms and write in tandem with A.I, here are some happenings in the studio this week:

The harvesting of golden oysters, reishi, and lion’s mane mushrooms has begun! Next task: figure out how to make them deliciously edible. (Good luck with the reishi, S and T!)

The Los Lobos studio’s focus on ST Math this session has begun to bear fruit, as both H and C finished their ST Math levels last week! Others are making huge strides and are set to finish up before the end of the year. 

This week and next week, learners have time during school to work on their business fair products if they bring their supplies to school. Some of them have their products well underway. 

Having an auditioner, D, in the studios has been a prime time to talk about what we want our values to be, how we want to represent ourselves to the world, and what it takes to succeed in this environment. 

We look forward to seeing you all at the exhibition next week!

Questions we’ve explored this week 

  • What is the most helpful kind of feedback: hearing all the things you did wrong at once or hearing just a couple things you did wrong at a time? 
  • Is it more important to be right or to be curious? How about when it comes to people? 

Upcoming Events

  • Our Session 5 exhibition will be held on Thursday, March 30, at 10:00 a.m. 
  • The Children’s Business Fair will be held at Acton ABQ on April 22.
