Our youngest students engaged in authentic field experience when a neighborhood tree was felled. The arborist cut a cookie for kinder scientists to learn from. Another #pbl journey begins..

Our newest Sherman staff are chewing on this question & all the rich learning from #PBLWorld21. They spent the 1st days of their summer learning more about the power of using #PBL in the classroom. @PBLWorks @tacomaschools @TPSTeach #transformeducation #bethechange #pblchat

What is your why? What do you want to cause? #PBLWorld21 keynote Miki Tomita challenges us to consider how every day we can imagine another world and be the change we want to see for our students. @PBLWorks
