Please continue to vote each day and send me any limeade for learning stickers you can (each sticker provides us with two votes!). Our second project is titled, “Wiggle Wobble Seats and Open-Ended Learning With Osmos”. If you choose to give (any amount helps!), you’ll receive updates and photos of this project in action and my students’ sincere gratitude.
