This 11 minute short video is an inspiring tale of educational ingenuity in the classroom.
After viewing the video "Return of the Plankton," third grade students created a quilt based on some of the creatures in the movie. Their teacher and volunteers at Manchester Elementary School in Port Orchard, WA guided not only the quilt making process, but helped the students find in-depth knowledge about their chosen underwater creatures.
