How might our communities be re-imagined when children are at the table designing? Community maps with my 6 and 8 yr old son and daughter. My son draws from memory & Google Maps, then says “Now I’m going to draw what I want!” He adds “1000 parks.” Ava adds a farm, and forests.

“A story is when you tell about what you’ve been doing and where you have been.” - DF. Found on a post it note as I clean up our classroom. Looking forward to more stories next year - for now - some reflection.
