We now find ourselves in an unprecedented moment in education, where our children’s health and wellbeing has been dramatically challenged over the last two years and we have all, as a global community, had to discover our resilience and attune to positive mindfulness.

Our aim at Making Miracles Productions (MMP) is to respond to this urgent need and open up an exciting new approach to knowledge for students. It is our pleasure to share with you a new learning pathway that allows students to explore the world around them while exploring their worlds within. Our 12-unit, middle-school level curriculum is intended to accompany DJ Colbert’s heartwarming coming-of-age novel The Girl With 35 Names, a story about the importance of community and the challenges of immigration.

Our curriculum is a dynamic and innovative in-class program that is a fully-aligned STEAM-based learning experience, and at its core imparts the basics of collaboration, critical thinking, and communication skills alongside exploration in writing, math, science, art, music, geography, and much more. What makes the curriculum truly unique, however, is its focus on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies, forefronting issues around health and wellness in our children, and informed by mindfulness and meditation, reflection, and creative processing.

The three-part program (with an Instructor’s Guide for the in-class portion, a Student’s Guide for interactive features, and a Parent/Caretaker’s Guide for home extensions) is sensitively designed to bridge the learning gaps between school and home, and bring together the various important parts of a child’s daily life with creativity and collaboration
