Students also created a VOKI identifying and describing how they might share their uniqueness and special qualities as an adult in their community in the future. Students then looked at how they could collectively as a classroom community make a global contribution and did so by choosing to raise enough money to purchase a well for a community in a third world country. Finally students shared their paper slide video with parents at theThree-way conferences in November and then with care-partners at a Celebration of Learning as a final showcase of learning. ||
