In 2015, I presented about a multicultural children’s literature parent-child class I had started in my community using a homeschooling curriculum. This was an attempt to challenge pre-literacy with my bilingual children and their non-native English-speaking friends in the neighborhood. The following year, we expanded to a school with a curriculum focus of project-based learning (PBL). This presentation will highlight several of those projects, in addition to some of the challenges we faced along the way.
