Finally Creating Change Campaign- Our class collected 72.42$! Wow! It put a HUGE smile on my face when the kids would show up with little or big bags full of pennies. We have almost help 3 people receive a lifetime of clean water. In seeing the water that the Kenyans had to use and boil in order to be safe, this REALLY warms my heart!

 

 

If I don't see you before the holidays I wish you all a restful and joyful holidays!

We are already in our last two weeks before Christmas break! This means alot going on both out of school and in school!

Thursday: If weather permits, PhysEd will be held outside. Please ensure your child comes prepared for this much time outside.


Free The Children Penny Drive- Wow! We have already raised 18$ in just a few days. It takes 25$ to provide clean water for one person! It it warms my heart to see our class becoming involved with an initiative that is so close to my heart. I had the opportunity to try and carry river water back to the village like all of the school girls do and I let me tell you that my back was very sore before long. Here is the Free the Children promotional video:

Now a look at what we have been doing the past few weeks:

Voici ma famille: We worked on how to create people visually, while representing our family. Can you tell which is your family?

 

Marshmellow Math: We have been working at dividing a number between one and twenty into two groups. Here is a fun activity we did to represent two group!

 

 

See you at the concert tomorrow night!
