today i went to first grade recess in central park.

no photos (i was too busy lifting children onto the monkey bars), but it was awesome.

i'm doing my field project this fall at harlem academy, which is an independent 1st-8th grade school in "the heart of harlem" that offers a sliding scale for tuition; students pay between $400 and $20,000 a year to attend the school.  i couldn't be more thrilled to explore this school that is so different from any i've been a part of.
