Wednesday Afternoon: Chickens, Music and Catchup


As the computer lab is down for this week while new windows are being installed so, instead of going to the computer lab, for the first period in the afternoon we stayed in the class and took part in a school wide activity sponsored by 'Veterinarians Without Borders." Their project is to provide a live chicken for poor families in villages in Laos. For every chicken a student in our school draws, a live chicken is given to a needy family in Laos. As 'C' said, "Our drawings magically come to life." I liked that image and the class really seemed to enjoy the idea and working on a worthy cause.

Second period in the afternoon the students went to Mrs. Awalt for Music. Her classes are always fun and inspirational and I hope many students make music a life long learning goal and skill.

Last period the students worked on catching up and finishing off assignments that were handed out yesterday and last week.

Great afternoon everyone. See you Friday morning when our class is being moved to the computer lab for a week while the School District replaces our old windows and floor. We may have to spend a week in the computer lab and library... sounds like a great 21 century way to spend a week in school. I am looking forward to starting some very exciting computer based learning and projects while we have the opportunity. Be sure and drop in on us when we are in our temp classroom in the lab if you can.
