Immigration Simulation!

I'm sure your kiddos told you about their experience as a U.S. Immigrant traveling to America on a ship across the Atlantic, but here are the pictures to prove it! If you DIDN'T hear about the simulation, I urge you to ask your child about it--it was truly a neat learning experience! Enjoy the slide show from Smilebox!

Being Humanitarians: 2nd Grade Bazaar 2013

There are so many worthy organizations that are fighting to better our country and our world.  I have narrowed it down to some great choices for our students to vote on--we will donate the profits from our sales at this year's 2nd Grade Bazaar to the winner of our poll.

Here is some information about each of the charities we will be choosing from:

World Wildlife Fund - fighting to protect endangered animals

American Red Cross: North Texas Region  - provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies.

Coppell Humane Society  - a foster home organization that keeps the animals until they find their forever homes, no matter how long that takes

Ocean Conservancy - brings people together to find solutions for our water planet, protecting the ocean and its wildlife for future generations

Students: After looking at the websites above and learning about each one, click on the link below to visit our Today's Meet site, where you will share with your classmates which charity you think we should donate to, and why you think so.  We will then vote and send off our donation to the organization with the most votes in 2nd grade!
