The Annual Peace Conference.

Hello, this is from the Student Council. Today only 5th grade Student Council went to Copper Creek Elementary School for The Annual Peace Conference. We had 13 elementary schools. A school named Iron Wood had their show chorus sing for all of us, CDO,Keiling,Rio Vista,Prince,Copper Creek,and more Amphi Dist. schools were there. We learned not to bully in all ways . We did a play to show others not to bully people. In the end we released blue balloons and 13 Doves to make a pledge that we will not bully. Everything went out great. Don't be a bully.

Victory to Jose Antonio

If you recall last week we helped a man on http://www.kiva.com/. Well his name is Jose Antonio. He has reached his goal of $550.He needed the money to fix his house. To who ever helped him thank you very much. He will pay us the $25 back in 14 months. Sadly all of us will be in 6th grade.

Helping People with Kiva.com

Kiva.org is a website that lends people small amounts of money so they can improve their lives. This is called microlending.
The class split into teams and examined the different people on kiva. Each team presented to the class for which person should get the loan.
We decided on José Antonio from Ecuador who needed money to repair his house. We loaned him $25. He needs $350 more
If you would like to join us and help others you can go to http://www.kiva.org/

Life Without Smartboards

Today, our smartboard went out for a few hours. It made us think about what if we didn't have it in our classroom. Here are a few comments.
School would be boring without a smart board because we couldn't do all the fun stuff that we can do with a smart board. It takes more time to do stuff without
the smart board. That's not really smart. Also, what if you had to do a math box review. You wold have to draw every question and it takes a lot of time.
by Wes
School would be good without a smartboard because today the smartboard didn't work and we still did our geography test without the smartboard. Usually we use the smartboard for the geography test but we didn't and we still did our geography test. So I think people can work without a smartboard.
By Taylor
School without smart boards would be the same. We would use whiteboards and we would have more computers and projecters . It would be odd at first but we would get used to it. And it would save money. Reading and social studies would be the same. We would just use a projecter and it would save money.
