Check out this video produced by National Geographic. I will be showing it to my class and discussing it. I also posted a link posted to the NG website which will take you to an interactive feature about the world of 7 billion.

Chinatown Field Trip - Friday, March 4

We are currently planning an all day experience in Chinatown for Friday, March 4. The plan is to leave the middle campus after a short meeting and attendance being taken. All of 5/6H will be joining us, so we will have a large group this year! Due to the fact that the bus will only seat 70 students, we are in need of parent chaperones who are willing to lead a group and drive either students or parents to Chinatown. Our plan is to divide the classes into small groups of 5 or so students and assign one or more chaperones to a group, depending on how many parents volunteer. The students will have a booklet containing a walking map of Chinatown with some questions to answer along the way.

If you are interested in spending the day with us in Chinatown on March 4, please send a note or an email to your child's teacher by Thursday, February 24. (We can't do this field trip without chaperones.)

6V Devotions - Country Focus - HAITI

The presentation below is for those students who were away today and missed the latest installment of our weekly devotional. This week's country focus was Haiti. Please continue to remember the people of Haiti in your prayers - there are hundreds of thousands of people living in desperate conditions without access to clean water, medical attention, regular meals and suitable housing.
