We are so lucky in Acton-Boxborough School (AB school) system. Last summer, Emily attended summer school to have her middle school experience. Emily and Alice both went to the U12 tennis clinics last summer. We found many interesting classes from the AB school community education, including basketball and volleyball.
When the 2022 summer comes, we found there were so many classes for kids. Emily and Alice took “What can you do with a map?“. Initially, Emily asked what the fun of reading a map was. After the first class, both girls loved this class. Catherine provided many materials about maps (posters, subway maps, stamps.., etc) and taught students to make hardcover notebooks, coasters, boxes, and wall hangings with maps.

The instructor, Catherine, really loves maps and I think she has collected all the materials in her daily life. I think the vast majority of materials are not easily available even if you want to buy them. Once again, we are so lucky to be here in AB school.
