Virtual ParentCamp! Week 6 – Let’s Celebrate Teachers!, PBL & Equity Sessions Continue and Build! ©ParentCamp, 2019, All Rights Reserved
First of all, we would like to wish all of our Muslim friends, Happy Ramadan! Due to the observance of this special holiday of our friends, the Arabic room will be off until after May 23rd.
We are thrilled to see how well the PBL series with our friends from the Deeper Learning Hub went over last week and there is still a lot of buzz from the Collaborate Designing for Equity Room. AND the Spanish room is moving into a Collaborate phase also. It is YOU that is making this happen!
