Welcome to Portals Projects! Each week we share projects that foster community building, creative thinking, problem-solving and character development. Invite your student(s) to pick a project that interests them to work on for a day or a week. Encourage them to share their plans, products or performances with the Portals community so we can all celebrate and grow together.

Still Broken
I threw a ball inside even though I know that’s against the rules and I broke a vase that is really meaningful to my mom. I know she will forgive me, but she will still be really sad. I want to make it up to her a little if I can. Instead of throwing the vase shards away, is there something special I can do or make with it?
Solution Criteria
Uses all or most pieces of vase
New creation is meaningful
Picture or drawing of solution
How interesting!
Imagine you are an explorer and you have discovered a new land. You encounter an unfamiliar plant. Write an encyclopedia entry for this plant that includes a picture, where you found it, how it smells and how it feels. It can be as realistic or fantastical as you want.
