Glastonbury Public Schools ELL

Heart Maps

In the fall of 2019 our English Language Learner students created Heart Maps. Their maps reveal the people, places, memories, and experiences that are most important to them. These maps were on display during the district's International Night held in November and open to the public.

Please enjoy a small sampling of the Heart Map projects and photos from the event, below.
