My Project

Students need opportunities to create community and re-learn to collaborate and listen to each others' stories. Help us convert some of our classroom desks into 3-dimensional storyboards that students can use to share ideas, create stories and have fun together again.

Students will use these tools and supplies to tell their stories and envision an optimistic future together.

My students love to use legos to create community, but a renewed supply and creating spaces for sharing will give a focal point for sharing as we unmask and return to "normal."
