Planning to tell the story of this school year. So nervcited & thankful for the opportunity to share the tiny world we created in B-1 w/@OpalSchool. Our emotional journey began w/ Love & ended with Last Stop, so @mattdelapena was basically the teacher & I was just hanging out. 😉

We want to make sure everyone who intended to participate is aware that our 4/21 workshop in #Seattle was cancelled. We’re disappointed - and looking forward to seeing you in Portland, elsewhere, and opalschool.org. #wonderoflearning #reggioinspired
