What happens when you combine block coding, bowling, and decimal practice? Shouting! Lots and lots of happy shouting! (and collaboration and problem solving of course 😉) #sphero @pollardjwawm
Collaboration AND custard?! I'm in!
We had a fantastic first field experience at Big Deal! Ss saw how different flavors of custard are made, asked the owners questions about their business, and, of course, got to try some of their delicious custard. #WAWMproud @schaefer_kory @WAWMFranklin #PBL #teamenterprise

How can we build toys to help kids in our community? Take a listen as our students reflect on their empathy interviews and next steps in their project pathway. #WAWMproud buzzsprout.com/831613

Ss spent the day delivering food.This photo is everything.This is what we wanted our kids to walk away with: Compassion, empathy, togetherness. It wasn’t just about the math/science of cooking. It’s about building the culture & helping our kids to find their sense of belonging.

Our kids are creators, teachers, builders, and now published poets! Through poetry they learned about themselves, each other and celebrated who they are.The anthology was written to inspire others to do the same. Ss built LFLs. Inside you'll find Poems from 86th Street. #PBLworks

Today we saw our kids in person for the first time in almost a year. I can’t even begin to put into words the love, relief, and happiness that was felt today.

After many iterations and feedback our storytellers created their boards for our 6 lending libraries that will be going up around West Allis. Now it’s time to fill these libraries with their stories and poetry of social justice. #ecpbl #pblworks

As our Ss investigate how they can use their stories to create change our 1/2s lead empathy interviews to understand the experiences and feelings of others in the community. It was real, raw, and insightful. Excited and fortunate to learn along side our kids! #ecpbl
