Got the most incredible tour of Design39Campus from 2 Kindergarten students in Jaclyn Vasko’s class. Got to crash some vertical learning families, lots of collaboration and so much student agency

It all started with our weekly walking fieldwork in our community to explore our natural ecosystem #illuminatingournaturalneighbors #Kindergarten #openwalledlearning #placebasedlearning #kidsThrive #Designthinking #PBL #shareyourlearning Design39Campus Jaymie

We then spent time getting our hands dirty, asking questions, and learning from experts in our community #illuminatingournaturalneighbors #Kindergarten #openwalledlearning #placebasedlearning #kidsThrive #Designthinking #PBL #shareyourlearning Design39Campus Jaymie

Our wonderings supported our research, giving life to our driving question: How might we help our natural neighbors thrive? #illuminatingournaturalneighbors #Kindergarten #openwalledlearning #placebasedlearning #kidsThrive #Designthinking #PBL #shareyourlearning Design39Campus

We learned how to draft and draw like a scientist, relying on the kind, helpful, & specific critique from friends #illuminatingournaturalneighbors #Kindergarten #openwalledlearning #placebasedlearning #kidsThrive #Designthinking #PBL #shareyourlearning Design39Campus

Meet our final draft work, inspired by Eric Carle and exhibition ready. Proof, again, that kids are highly capable of amazing things #illuminatingournaturalneighbors #Kindergarten #openwalledlearning #kidsThrive #Designthinking #PBL #shareyourlearning Design39Campus

Meet our final products, postcards! To support the care of community ecosystems, & encourage everyone to #shareyourlearning #illuminatingournaturalneighbors #Kindergarten #openwalledlearning #placebasedlearning #kidsThrive #Designthinking Design39Campus

So inspired by our TK/K exhibition Design39Campus. Our K-Buddies “Illuminated Nature in our Neighborhood” with guided nature walks and custom postcards. A true model of design in student agency and environmental literacy. #PowayUSD #SDAWP Jaclyn Vasko Jaymie

And our exploratory exhibition was the perfect way to share our learning with our community #shareyourlearning #Kindergarten #PBL #Designthinking #illuminatingournaturalneighbors Design39Campus

Thank you for all of the love & support from our guest family LEDs! Volunteering in our community was not always typical. We are grateful for your time & willingness to jump right in the middle Design39Campus #volunteerbreakfast #designingthefuture #designthinking
