I had a wonderful time working with the LCCS students! I was paired with a lovely team of three young ladies who each had their own environmental passions – my team was mostly concerned with the problems surrounding plastics. Especially the plastic bags that they see people using at their local stores. I learned that there is a tricky balance between support and guidance. Somewhere along the way we got stuck in an idea that did not grow. I found myself throwing out a suggestion to spur more ideas and it seemed the children would work narrowly within that idea. I must find a way to become better at collaborating – to truly create along side the LCCS students without the pressure/authority of a typical teacher-student dynamic.
