Piece Description

Third grader William remembers the extraordinary time in first grade when he lost two teeth in two days. Not one to sit around, William took matters into his own hands when his loose teeth refused to fall out on their own. This story was originally part of a site-specific audio tour of our school written and recorded by third graders. The stories recount school memories ranging from kindergarten to third grade which reference specific locations, landmarks and objects on campus. While these pieces were originally created to be listened to on-site, they can be enjoyed on their own as well. We also recommend that you listen using headphones.
