I have rarely seen such excitement and engagement in students. It was incredible to watch them interact, plan, naturally take leadership roles, divide "jobs"/tasks up and laugh......yes laugh!!!!!!!!

Please enjoy the pictures as I will let them tell the story.














Thank you to my amazing students who teach me something every day!

Warmly,
Teresa
