Students in the Classroom

Inspired by their Noah’s Ark school tour, the Mindful Moment: Rainbow video on the Skirball website, and the Re-Discovered Animals lesson plan, 2nd grade students at Suva Elementary made animal sculptures out of recycled and repurposed materials and reflected on how to make positive change in their community.
