Secondary and Elementary School Students Collaborate on Innovative Project
The "Introduction to Teaching" class at Baldwin High School, which is one of the four courses offered in the Education Academy pathway, embarked on a special project to craft character dolls designed to enhance social emotional learning for second-grade students at Brookside Elementary School. The unique collaboration aims to not only promote creativity but also foster emotional intelligence in the younger learners. Under the guidance of their teacher, Ms. Christina Reilly, the high school students used this hands-on project as a tool to impart essential life skills to their younger counterparts. Each character doll was based on a character from books that the second graders chose from “The Food Group Series.”
