Friday is the International Day of the Girl, Thursday, we'll Stand Up for Girls
Hello Rainbow Egg Heads,
Today in the computer lab, you are going to be doing some reading and watching.
#1. Read my blog post about International Day of the Girl and Stand Up for Girls from last year (there are three short videos to watch on there too).
#2. Read the post and comments that include our discussion about this from last year.
#3. Read the post and watch the video about what we did last year to Stand Up for Girls. Do you want to do this again today (since we won't be at school on Friday, the International Day of the Girl)?
#4. Write a comment on this post describing why you think some girls don't get to go to school in other parts of the world and finish this sentence: I stand up for....
Before hitting "post", double check what you have written for clarity and accuracy.
Success Criteria: thoughtful and juicy thoughts shared, full sentences, proper spelling/punctuation/grammar
Green Light Level response by one of your peers:
I think girls don't get to go to school because they are neglected by their society.
I stand up for... not letting girls be in poverty just because they're girls
#5. If you have not yet completed the "Stars and a Planet" task, click on this link to do so (many people used the QR code to get to this link).
#6. Follow step 3 on this post if you have not yet joined our Edmodo groups..
#7. Spend the remaining time doing your choice of IXL or TypingWeb.

Martin Luther King Jr. Necklaces!
We celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day today in a unique way in Room 209. We started with a reading of "Martin's Big Words", a pointed reading of his famous "I Have a Dream" speech (which gave most of us "goosies"!), listened to the actual audio of the speech and then gathered all our knowledge into the amazing necklaces you'll see below.
Each student created at least three pendants on his or her necklace, one representing the life of MLK Jr., one representing his words and one representing his impact on the world or on US!
