Dear Team,
Kari and Nohe have turned the Makerspace upside-down and we love it! Her 5th graders worked hard creating a play where they got to show eveything they have learned about the Incas Empire. This PBL presentation was a highlight for the performance and the audience!
Thank you for creating learning opportunities where students show agency and develop creativity and collaboration while having so much fun!
¡SON LO MÁXIMO, FELICITACIONES!
🤩 🤩
Have a great weekend,
Moni & Marga⭐
