For class on Monday November 28, we did a service project fair in the Gaige lobby. Here we brought in our finished posters and 2 samples of the different types of stepping stones we are taking to Glenside Elementary are. On our poster we talked about our research topic which was ocean pollution and the different aspects of that as well as our service project with Glenside in thier garden. The two different stepping stones that we brought for the display was one grade level stone and one greeting stone. For the different grade levels, 1st-5th, we decided to do two stepping stones for each grade level. Then for the greeting stepping stones we found six different ways to say hello in six different languages since we already speak English. So we decided to do hello, hola, aloha, guten tag, konnichiwa, ciao, and bonjour. These all are painted either red or blue and then w added a design to these stones.

Update on 10/28 class time

 

 

Today our group accomplished a good amount. We discussed about what our next wordpress post would be and the content we were going to put into this post. We then talked about our research and what we are doing next. Our research is going great so far, but we aren’t fully there done yet. Our research topic is Ocean Pollution and there is a whole post that will be put up about what we are doing  We are trying to figure out what our project will for the presentations we have to do. We also discussed about what we are definately doing at Glenside with the vice principal.

Ocean Pollution Research

My Squash decided to do research on ocean pollution and how it affects the environment.  We, as a team, came up with some great websites to do the research and then worked to find the research individually.  It is all on a collective document so everyone on our team knows what we are researching.  The main topic is about plastic in the ocean, how it affects the animals, and how it changes the environment.  Another topic is how it builds up and created the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in the ocean.

A turtle is caught in a fishnet trap. The Rainbow Warrior is in the Mediterranean for a three month expedition "Defending Our Mediterranean". Greenpeace is calling for the creation of marine reserves in the Mediterranean Sea, as part of a global network covering 40% of our seas and oceans.
