I had the opportunity to teach the FLAG BOOK structure to fifth-graders at the Silverlake Independent Jewish Community Center in their
The Art of Ethics class focusing on Shalom Bayit – Peace in the Home.
This was my first IN PERSON teaching artist experience in over a year and a half!
It was wonderful….
Here are some of the results, as well as the process…

“The Future” is a theme

No Rules (!)

Designing the book

Looking to the future, celebrating the now

Highly engaged

A positive approach

Innovation

Cover Design

Completing the structure

The wonderful teacher, Marnina.
