"Ah, so I was going to tell you. My class was discussing wetlands and the water cycle today and how everything is connected. Somehow they got off on the topic of people who don't have enough around the world. I let them develop that idea a little bit and them played them your song (I can't even remember the name, but ...it has to do with water). It really resonnated with them adn afterwards they started quoting phrases from it and brainstorming how they could change those situations. Thanks for touching the lives of 2nd-graders! :)"
Thanks to all teachers who are guiding the imaginations of students to dream and believe they can change their world and empowering them to do so!
