What is the biggest problem in the world today?

A couple of weeks ago, I asked the students what the biggest problem in the world was. We brainstormed a huge list of ideas and began to formulate our own opinions on the matter. We have been reading books about Social Justice; poverty, war, discrimination, slavery, global warming, human rights violations, etc. While these are not always easy books to read (especially when they don't have the happy ending we long for!), they all provide us with signs of hope for the future. When I look around the classroom, I see my very own signs of hope through your words and more importantly your actions. You have the ability to change the world, together we can all make a difference :)

Beginning of the week awesome

The sound of a bird chirping in the middle of Winter

Such a beautiful sound, especially when you least expect it. Look up in the sky, chirp, chirp...AWESOME!
