Description :
Graduate students from UNO Instructor Tami Williams’ Educational Leadership course partnered with Ms. Danielle Elsassr’s 3rd grade students from Black Elk Elementary and Royale Oaks Assisted Living Center. This project allowed the elementary students to foster intergenerational relationships between themselves and their senior buddies through their creation of poetry and art. UNO students benefited by the gained experience of supervising a community partnership and learning about the importance of engaging their future students with opportunities outside the classroom.
