17.01.2022 Over the past 9 months, we’ve seen wildlife roam free while people isolate to stay healthy. Whales have changed their migration patterns due to fewer ships, sea turtles have laid record eggs on beaches empty of humans, and wild monkeys have taken over city streets. These stories cause us to wonder: what if we could redesign our human environment to accommodate the animal world: what would it be like if animals could still roam free within human environments?

07.01.2022 Research has shown that positive social activities such as expressing gratitude can lead to stronger relationships, improved quality of life, and may motivate us to give back to our community. Your challenge this month is to use Minecraft as a way to creatively model gratitude. Incorporate into your subject area curriculum or as a Social Emotional Learning lesson. Close your eyes, and visualize a time another person did something to benefit you. How did it make you feel? Use Minecraft to build a scene with images and words to express this episode. Use the camera, portfolio, and book and quill to capture your work and share your thoughts about who and what you appreciate.
