We have just come back to school after two weeks off for Spring Break, however, I neglected to post the exciting events that happened before we left for holidays! This month's post focuses on how working with community members enriches student learning and promotes connections with place. As our SET-BC Synergy grant is focused on place-based learning, it is fitting that our focus has been on connecting with community members both in and outside of the classroom.
