Nick is making such great progress with his drawing skills! This is a character from one of his favourite games, Legend of Zelda ­¤æī­¤Å╝
ItŌĆÖs important to meet students where theyŌĆÖre at so that they can build confidence and skills from there. When they are also encouraged to weave personal interests into each task or project, it creates a sense of ownership and helps students to push through creative challenges ŌśĆ’ĖÅ
