Congrats to both! I work with our SPED program without peer partners and found his write up thought provoking to the point where I”ll surely work the idea this coming school year.
I would like to hear more about Megan’s program. It is indeed inspiring to have family nights….I used to do that a bit, but turnout was poor or zero, partially because so many of our parents have multiple jobs in Moab’s tourist economy. The book idea was great and I love the well thought out lead questions. I did something similar with families making a take home mini mural years ago and it was fun to watch my students become the “art coach” for their family. This was an especially good issue Trish. Thanks for sharing these two projects.
