Welcome to
AKGTC WEEKLY SPECIAL ACTIVITIES !
These activities are designed to be short activities (1 class period or less) to help inspire your students to inquire, investigate, and share their nearby community in creative ways at their own skill level — truly BY KIDS and FOR KIDS.
Originally, one activity per week was shared. Now, you and your class are welcome to complete these activities at any time throughout the year.
