[Imcamericorps] MLK service day plans

[Jacob Barton]

So,

We figured out the curriculum a bit more.  2nd and 3rd grade are
making drums, 5th grade is making balloon-saxophones.  The half-hour
classes will go something like this:

(3 min.) who we are; everybody says a few sentences about what they do
at the IMC; Meme makes the point that we all do different things but
work together
(8 min.) song "If I had a hammer".  we all sing.  Kat explains a
little of the history.  We teach, with lyric sheets.
(2 min.) Jacob (&Carly?) something relating peace to indymedia to
making your own instruments
(2 min.) Katy & Emma explain what we're building
(12 min.) making drums/flutes
(3 min.) sing song again with improvised instrument playing

Stuff to do
