Over the past few months, the Elementary School (ES) Wellness Team at Presidio Knolls School (PKS)—consisting of Kayla Story and Missy Silvers—has been visiting second-grade classrooms to lead lessons and hands-on activities designed to help students explore neurodiversity. These sessions highlight how our brains are uniquely wired and how these differences contribute to a diverse, inclusive, and supportive learning community.
Middle school students met with clients (many of whom were international and based in China), scheduled their own meetings, and consulted with clients to build their dream sustainable homes. Students then executed these plans by designing and building models of these dream homes - all while learning more about sustainable housing design. This project exemplifies how students learn through authentic interdisciplinary bilingual projects.
