Our first TK-6th grade project launches this week. As project-based learning is about the process of learning and not just the end product, we are excited to see deeper thinking taking place. It has been a tradition at iLEAD Agua Dulce to have the same big-picture theme for the first project. Having this commonality among all grade levels helps build community and collaboration.

The theme for this project is “How Can I Spread the Joy of Toys?”
The Driving Questions are as follows:
