Creativity with the Recycling Bin!


I love watching kids be creative!  Each  morning we spend about 20 minutes together as a homeroom. My students are currently collecting bottle caps and creating an art project with them.  Earlier in the year, they collected empty plastic bottles and scraps of paper from the recycling bin to create a bowling game!  All of this was student initiated and student executed.  The only thing I did was give them permission to explore their out of the box ideas!

A Day Without Shoes - April 5 and 6

Children in developing countries often grow up barefoot. Many are not allowed to attend school without shoes and they are often injured or exposed to harmful minerals, which can lead to serious medical conditions. On April 5th and 6th you will have the opportunity to go barefoot during social studies class to help raise awareness of what children in developing countries face everyday. While it might sound like fun to go without shoes during class, think about what it would be like if you had to go barefoot for miles while you walk to school, get clean water or find medical help.
