Wordless Wednesday: Painting Children’s Book Panels Together

By Nithya Prabhala, City Year AmeriCorps member serving on the CSX Team at the Elihu Greenwood Leadership Academy.

Teacher – corps member relationships are the foundation of our service and allow us to build connections to powerfully impact our students. The CSX team collaborated with teachers to paint panels of our favorite children’s book covers, carrying over the relationships formed in the classroom into service:

My teacher Tammi Mark and me working on “The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid.”
The finished painted panel of “Diary Of A Wimpy Kid.”
Second grade teacher Jill Potsaid working along side science teacher Ms. Lynch on “Make Way For Ducklings.”
The almost completed painted panel of “Make Way For Ducklings.”

Tammi Mark and me starting “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?”
It becomes a joint project with Program Manager Nicole Kfoury and first grade teacher Rachel Cash.
The almost completed panel, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” Teachers have expressed interest in another service event to finish panels.
Third grade teacher Carmen Allen working on “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”
The finished product: “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.”
Ms. Wright and Ms. Ferguson painting.
The finished panel. It was fun, and helped beautify the school more.
