India has two leaders, a Prime Minister and a President. While visiting New Delhi we had the opportunity to visit the residence of President Rashtrapati Nilayam. We even got a glimpse of the FMA March Students of the Month president from afar. During our tour, he returned home at the same time we were visiting his home library. What a delight! Room Student Our visit to India gave us a first hand opportunity to delve into the 212 Javier Gonzalez wide range of religious communities. We visited temples, shrines, and 301 Jadah Depina churches linked to Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Christianity. We also got to experience a Sikh, soup kitchen. 303 Leah Berhanu 304 Michael Burke Among other events, we visited Mahi Bhavan, the house where Mahatma Ghandi stayed when he lived in Mumbai, and learned all 305 Roodjina Lorena about his life and history at the museum. Gandhi was the primary 306 Brandon Moran leader of Indiaís independence movement and like Martin Luther 307 Raul Cruz King, Jr organized a non-violent civil disobedience movement that helped to influence the world. 310 Kaylah Andre 311 Giovani Perez One of the highlights of the trip (although there were many) was a trip Music Joshua Rodriguez to the Sahakari Spice Farm, where we learned about the variety of spices grown in India.

Contact Shani at [email protected] Fletcher Maynard Academy Second Grade Open Mic—Ms. Sullivan On March 23rd, students in Second Grade gathered in Room 307 to read their poetry out loud to an eager audience of parents, teachers, and peers. The well-attended Poetry Open Mic was a culmination of the second grade poetry unit, in which second graders learned to apply many poetry techniques to their own poems. During the event, each student read his or her poem aloud (with a MICROPHONE!) while it was projected behind them with a correlating illustration composed by the poet. Students in Rooms 307 and 310 showed their understanding of similes and metaphors by using it in their poetry to compare unlike objects and people. They also learned how to use personification to give nonhuman things human qualities, as well as how to create rhythm and rhyme in their poems. Students loved experimenting with onomatopoeia in poetry and learned how to revise their poetry by creating purposeful line breaks. Room 310 students even tried writing odes to people, animals, or things that were very important to them! These poetry skills have already carried over into student personal narrative writing as scholars become more descriptive with their newly acquired figurative language. The Poetry Open Mic was a great chance for students to read their own work aloud with expression - they did a fantastic job! Thanks to all who attended! Flower Shop! Ms. Kempton The Preschool Scholars in room 104 have opened up a Flower Shop! They are busy playing the roles of “florist” and “customer.” As a florist they are responsible for working the cash register (everyone’s favorite job), spraying the plants with water, wrapping up the flowers, arranging flower vases and taking care of their customers. The customers are busy getting dressed up for shopping, talking on their phones, taking “selfies” and purchasing flowers with dollar bills and “debit cards.” They are working their fine motor skills, math, language, literacy, dramatic play, social skills and more! Please stop by and shop if you have a free moment between 9:40-10:30 everyday. Fletcher Maynard Academy Meet the FMA Maker Lab! —Mr. McGonegal Tucked into the northwest corner of the FMA's lower level, we have an exciting new space where FMA Students and Teachers come to discover, create, code and connect! The new FMA MakerLab contains 25 iMac computers, a Brightlink Interactive Whiteboard, and enough work tables and floor space to make it a dynamic place for meeting, making, and learning! Ms. Lincoln and the Art Club have nearly finished their inspiring murals which will motivate and inspire our students in the years to come! Here are just some of the ways the dynamic new space is being used: • Mr McGonegal's weekly classes for grades 2-5: These classes cover subjects such as robotics, coding, keyboarding, digital literacy, productivity tools, media production (co-taught by Ms. Aishah, our Library Media Specialist) and more! • Mr. Hebard's Robotics Club and the "Innovators for a Purpose" program: The "IFP" program brings together a student community of "creative doers" that apply STEAM skills to actively seek solutions to problems in the community. Check out their • website and blog to learn more about their awesome work: http://innovatorsforpurpose.org • JK-1 and other "Drop-in" use: With guidance and assistance from our Instructional Technology Specialist, teachers grades JK-1 bring their scholars down often for skills-building software and other tech-infused lessons. • Community Schools and Afterschool: These FMA programs make wonderful use of the space during the late afternoon hours, allowing time for tech-infused homework, and using various educational web sites to leverage classroom learning. • Building-wide and District-wide professional development: Meetings and trainings have been working wonderfully in this dynamic space! The FMA recently hosted two 10-hour courses for Cambridge teachers on integrating Interactive Whiteboards into their teaching, and more and more building-based professional development is happening here all the time. We'll be hosting a special event in June where the community can come learn more about the FMA MakerLab and how they can extend their students' learning through the summer months using our web-based resources. Watch this space for more information about this event! In the meantime, you can find more info about our web-based resources here: More info on those here: https://goo.gl/Vj1jI Greek Revival Scavenger Hunt— Ms. Lincoln Attention all students and families! If you spot a Greek Revival house in Cambridge or Boston you can win a prize! Here's what you do if you spot a Greek Revival house: IT’S SIMPLE! Write on a piece of paper: • Your Name • Street and street number of Greek Revival house (Please do not share the address with other students) Give to Ms. Lincoln, Allow for 24 hour authentication period, Collect 1 piece of candy for every house you find!!! The contest runs for the entire month of April P.S. there are hundreds of Greek Revival houses in our community. And that's a lot of prizes! Fletcher Maynard Academy More From India —Ms. Coulson Bhuleshwar Market, Mumbai Bhuleshwar is a busy market area in the historic Hindu part of the city. There were lanes full of small shops selling everything from food, flowers, to jewelry and fabric. Even the cows were enjoying a day at the market! Taj Mahal, Agra The photos do not do justice to our experience, especially at the Taj Mahal, It is breathtaking in real life. There is so much detail in the building’s design. Each of those flowers you see was hand carved in the marble. Also, colored gems had to cut and shaped to fit in each of those inlays. No wonder it took 20 years to build! Cavalossim, Goa We made our way up and down the Sal River on a private boat tour. We saw local fisherman out working, wildlife and the beautiful countryside.

  • Dharavi, Mumbai: a Special Slum?
    The Newsletter | No.73 | Spring 2016 22 | The Review Dharavi, Mumbai: a special slum? Dharavi, a slum area in Mumbai started as a fishermen’s settlement at the then outskirts of Bombay (now Mumbai) and expanded gradually, especially as a tannery and leather processing centre of the city. Now it is said to count 800,000 inhabitants, or perhaps even a million, and has become encircled by the expanding metropolis. It is the biggest slum in the city and perhaps the largest in India and even in Asia. Moreover, Dharavi has been discovered, so to say, as a vote- bank, as a location of novels, as a tourist destination, as a crime-site with Bollywood mafiosi skilfully jumping from one rooftop to the other, till the ill-famous Slumdog Millionaire movie, and as a planned massive redevelopment project. It has been given a cult status, and paraphrasing the proud former Latin-like device of Bombay’s coat of arms “Urbs Prima in Indis”, Dharavi could be endowed with the words “Slum Primus in Indis”. Doubtful and even treacherous, however, are these words, as the slum forms primarily the largest concentration of poverty, lack of basic human rights, a symbol of negligence and a failing state, and inequality (to say the least) in Mumbai, India, Asia ... After all, three hundred thousand inhabitants live, for better or for worse, on one square km of Dharavi!

  • Infrastructure As Method (Supplementary Chapter for Pipe Politics, Contested Waters)
    Infrastructure as Method (Supplementary chapter for Pipe Politics, Contested Waters) Lisa Björkman This supplementary chapter outlines the research design and methodology that animated the fieldwork for Pipe Politics, Contested Waters. In surveying this methodological terrain, I show shows how water infrastructures were simultaneously an object of inquiry, as well as the medium and methodological entryway for studying those same processes. The chapter attends to some of the challenges – material, practical, epistemological – that I encountered and navigated in the field, probing some key aspects of ethnographic research design and practice that can sometimes go unspoken: framing a research question; figuring out how and where to go looking for answers; trying out different strategies; adjusting, adapting, experimenting, and even sometimes discarding particular techniques when they prove misguided or unhelpful. While these sorts of discussions are generally edited out of published manuscripts – as indeed it is in Pipe Politics – I offer them here to make a separate argument regarding the relationship between ethnography and methodology. Ethnographers of the global present face particular methodological challenges – challenges that have perhaps always haunted the ethnographic enterprise, but that have bubbled to the sociological surface lately in especially demanding ways. To state the problem simply: how can a methodology (i.e., ethnography) that is premised on the production of knowledge through immersion in ‘local’ worlds be put to work

    Acknowledgements This document has emerged from a partnership of disparate groups of concerned individuals and organizations who have been engaged with the issue of exploring sustainable housing solutions in the city of Mumbai. The Kamala Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute of Architecture (KRVIA), which has compiled this document, contributed its professional expertise to a collaborative endeavour with Society for Promotion of Area Resource Centres (SPARC), an NGO involved with urban poverty. The discussion is an attempt to create a new language of sustainable urbanism and architecture for this metropolis. Thanks to the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) authorities for sharing all the drawings and information related to Dharavi. This project has been actively guided and supported by members of the National Slum Dwellers Federation (NSDF) and Dharavi Bachao Andolan: especially Jockin, John, Anand, Savita, Anjali, Raju Korde and residents’ associations who helped with on-site documentation and data collection, and also participated in the design process by giving regular inputs. The project has evolved in stages during which different teams of researchers have contributed. Researchers and professionals of KRVIA’s Design Cell who worked on the Dharavi Redevelopment Project were Deepti Talpade, Ninad Pandit and Namrata Kapoor, in the first phase; Aditya Sawant and Namrata Rao in the second phase; and Sujay Kumarji, Kairavi Dua and Bindi Vasavada in the third phase. Thanks to all of them. We express our gratitude to Sweden’s Royal University College of Fine Arts, Stockholm, (DHARAVI: Documenting Informalities ) and Kalpana Sharma (Rediscovering Dharavi ) as also Sundar Burra and Shirish Patel for permitting the use of their writings.

  • How Is Dharavi Organized to Be a Sustainable Model
    Organizing Chaos – How is Dharavi organized to be a sustainable model Artifact 1: Aerial view of Dharavi, located at the heart of Mumbai, India (http://www.jonasbendiksen.com/National-Geographic/Dharavi/4) Overview. Located at the heart of Mumbai with about 1 million people living in merely 1 square mile of land, Dharavi houses one of the biggest slums in the world. Despite atrocious hygiene conditions, extremely dense population, and income levels that are well below the poverty line, Dharavi houses an industry which is worth over a billion dollars and is the most productive slum in the world. Given the inhumane restrictions, what makes Dharavi such a sustainable model? As per an article by The New York Times, Dharavi could be called a self-created special economic zone for the poor. This inspires the focus of the case study, that is to understand the nature of the exclusive symbiotic relationship between the industry and the people at Dharavi that creates a unique thriving economic model. What is being organized? The scope of this case study is to understand the organizing system of the billion-dollar industry at Dharavi. The resources of this organizing system are the industries/businesses and the working population of Dharavi. We will look at the different categories of industries at Dharavi and how each of them adapts in the organizing system. This organizing system is designed to manage a collection in which resources are continually maintained or curated. The industry is organized such that it accounts for the need and availability of labor of the given skill, thus providing the right kind of interactions for the unskilled yet dedicated population of Dharavi.
