I am so excited to bring my mini-workshop idea to life thanks to a grant from my community partners Community Literacies Collaboratory.
This event promises one thing: Opportunity! Where we get to encourage our young minds the opportunity to express themselves, the opportunity to have fun learning, and an opportunity to enhance literacy skills while pairing it with some amazing tools. We will incorporate Poetry and Pictograms to let our students dive into the world of imagination.

It’s going to be great!
