BCAL Saturdays-Yoga Workshop
Our students have a hectic school week, so on Saturdays they come down to BCAL for the yoga workshop led by our certified instructor Ira. In the workshop, they do exercises to stretch, relax and to develop focus and concentration, all the while having fun! They leave looking and feeling refreshed and ready to take on more challenges.

The Clock @ Paula Cooper Gallery
On February 10 we went to Chelsea in Manhattan to Paula Cooper Gallery. We saw the Christian Marclay show. There were two exhibits in the gallery. At the main desk there was a huge book shelf with a ladder that rolled along the shelves. That was a lot of space in the art gallery and mini-rooms. One room had a wave of cassette tapes put together into a sculpture. Behind me there was writing on the wall with people’s names on it. There were four huge curtains before entering a dark room to see the video. The movie was called The Clock and it was about watches.
