🏘️ Before & After the Storm: Dioramas of Resilience 🏘️ Our sixth graders have been hard at work creating dioramas that show a community before and after a devastating hurricane. These powerful projects combine creativity, critical thinking, and compassion—and are directly tied to Kansas reading standards, including making inferences, analyzing setting, and understanding cause and effect. Each model tells a unique story of destruction, survival, and hope. We're so proud of the insight and effort our students put into bringing these scenes to life. Take a look at their incredible work! 👇
