The Creative heART visited the Abenaki Circle of Courage program last week. We read the book, “Be a Good Ancestor” and discussed our impacts on the world and the idea of interconnectedness. Students created images as a response to this book discussion. I loved seeing their ideas and creativity blossom.

Here’s a link to listen to the book. It has beautiful illustrations: https://youtu.be/E3Vys_ZlXNU?feature=shared
