June 15,1998 COMMENTARY FULLERTON OBSERVER Page 3 Mural Project Combines Art, Science, R e a d i n g , Writing, and Mathematics

Butterflies are migrating to Laguna Road School! Second grade students, along with their teacher Mrs. Suzy Jurgensen and parent Louise Mordaunt, have designed and created a large outdoor mural consisting of large butterflies in flight above a grassy field with flowers. This project, made possible by a Fullerton School District Foundation forthe Arts grant, successfully integrated the subject areas of art, reading, science, Parent, Louise Mordaunt and teacher, Mrs. Jurgensen with her 2nd grade class in front writing and mathematics. It also of the 50 foot Butterfly mural they created at Laguna Road School commemorates the arrival of the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly to Fullerton. traveling long distances. Citrus is the preferred diet of this species’ caterpillar as is the herb rue. Mrs. Jurgensen and her students The Giant Swallowtail is the largest are planning to plant this herb near the mural in hopes of attracting a Giant Swallowtail to lay eggs next to their classroom (sounds butterfly in the U.S. and is capable of like they read Diane Bridgford’s column on the subject in April 15 Observer!). The 50 foot long mural consists of 20 butterflies each one designed and painted by one student. The class also worked as a group to paint the environment. The majority of the work was done with sponges creating splashed/dots of color for a dappled effect. The result is a beautiful work of art complete with color, coordinating patterns, symmetry and overlapping. The mural experience provided these second grade students with an exciting expansion of their current classroom art program. In addition students had opportunities to read about butterflies, to become more knowledgeable about the life cycle of the butterfly and it’s habitat, to recognize and apply symmetry, to write stories and to record observations, information and personal progress in a “Butterfly Journal”.

When a visitor walks into Mary Hood’s room at Rolling Hills School she is met with an atmosphere of organized, calm activity. Some children are independently reading, others working on a social studies connection to pioneer life, three children, with a parent volunteer are piecing together squares that their classmates have sewn on to the quilt, and four Rolling Hills student, Briana Trejo shows off finished children are sitting on the rug working with the teacher planning their own quilting square using geometric shapes to fill pioneer quilt made with classmates, as part of the space. All are enthusiastically participating, yet the noise level is quiet, muted and studious. Every student in the room innovative math, history learning experience. is actively engaged in a learning activity. Mary Hood, a first grade teacher, was awarded a grant from the Fullerton School District Educational Foundation. Her idea included a hands-on experience for her class that would make a real connection to pioneer life for them. Creating a quilt would be the vehicle that would make the learning meaningful. The class started the study of quilts by reading the Fullerton Museum book Eight Hands Round, by Ann Whitford Paul. The children learned about block patterns, their names and how the patterns got their names. The class learned that a quilt has three layers, and that there are many types of quilts. As a social Center Recieves Arts studies link, they learned about the harshness of pioneer life and the need for making warm blankets for the winter from scraps of fabric. The students brought in old clothing they could no longer wear to use for their own quilt block, just as Orange County Grant pioneers had done long ago. To link mathematics to the project, students created quilt blocks of their own. They Arts Orange County,a non-profit arts council dedicated to constructed nine squares, with instructions that they could make as many as four symmetrical cuts and use the resulting strengthening the Orange County art community is funded by The shapes to create their block. They named their creations as the pioneers had done. James Irvine Foundation and The Margaret E. Oser Foundation. Students brought in family quilts and the class discussed the quilts’ history and significance to the students family. This is the first year of the grants program.

Because the winter deluges resculpt the topography, it offers a different experience every year. So you have a host of options for discovering the creek. Hopefully one is your style - tame Where does the water come from? Some of it all the way from Diamond Bar and Tonner to “game”. But even if you never brave it, aren’t you glad to know it’s there? Canyon. The quantity varies depending on rainfall - cumulative as well as recent - and watering runoff. Some historical background: in the early 60’s the creek and its surroundings lay largely untouched except by youngsters exploring and trying to catch some of the hundreds of frogs and crawdads (O.K., crayfish, if you’re a purist). Then the Daily New Tribune reported that change was afoot. The Fullerton Golf Course was going to expand from 9 to 18 holes. Some of these would be constructed in what was Frog Creek. I was greatly distressed and made a heartfelt plea over the phone to our long-time councilman/mayor, Louis “Red” Reinhart: Save Our Frog Creek. But by that time the die was cast. He explained to me that Progress necessitated the loss of this rare natural area. No golf course could be successful if it didn’t offer a full 18 holes. So the untamed went. Trees and shrubbery were bulldozed away. Clipped greens replaced them. It looked marvelous, if you were a golfer instead of a naturalist. I grieved anew every time I drove along Bastanchury. But every winter when the inevitable “biggie” stormed through and the pristine putting circles mudded in, I privately smiled. After more than a decade of these losing battles, guess what? At the end of the 70’s, the powers that be threw in the golf towel and gave up on the property south of Bastanchury! Actually, only four of the nine holes had been constructed there but according to my avid golfer son, they were the best four. A Par 3 Course was converted into the lost quartet. So Fullerton still had its 18 Hole Championship Course and the frogs had their creek back. Almost everyone was happy. Now it was time for the long slow regrowth, the reclaiming of wildness. First the low stuff and then finally the trees inched up. Nearly two decades later you would never suspect the land’s recent use, save for an area of broken concrete and a liberal studding of golf balls in the waterway. Enough history - let’s go see it: You can approach the creek fairly easily from three directions. From the east, drive all the way north on Marion Boulevard. Park on that street or at the ends of Barbara or Claire. Make your way down the hill until you eventually come to a worn bicycle/walking trail that parallels the stream. It meanders in and out and finally becomes plant-choked towards the dam.
