Okay, the cherubs did a weekend water usage survey, at home. They came in and we converted that survey into gallons -- refer to earlier blog on how we did that. Then, we converted gallons into decimal and then into percentage of water used. Today, students used a graphic organizer of their own choosing and created a water conservation plan to be used at home. Then, they drew an illustration that can be used to remind middle school students to conserve water, here, in the building.
Kidspeak - ain't it great?
Yesterday, my social studies class converted the Bill of Rights into Kidspeak. Today, I threw several scenarios at them highlighting a certain violation to a certain Amendment. They were to determine which Amendment was violated. As a reward, each kid in the groups with the right answer got a "Dum Dum" lollipop. Needless, to say, only one scenario stumped them. I gave away so many lollipops -- some kids bragged about receiving five and even six lollipops. I am so proud of them -- here, on election day, my munchkins have shown they will be responsible and educated citizens of this great country.
Speaking of election day -- gotta run, I have to drive down the road a couple of miles to get to my polling place. Good luck to all the candidates vying for political office -- only in America.
Did you vote, today? Exercise your right.
