Hey there Internets world and parents and others! Below are some recent blogs from the class at City View Charter. Parents, find your child by their initials and see what they are getting out of our fieldwork.
We visited the Real.Life.Exhibit in Tigard, OR. This was put on by Medical Teams International. It was meant to simulate scenes of disaster, and to stimulate empathy and thought through provocative scenes and art work. Our students blogged about what they got from it.
We also visited Mercy Corps in downtown Portland, OR. We did a training on Food Security, what it is, and how it relates to Afghanistan. The kids chimed in with their thoughts on this issue too under "Food Security". In addition, some of the students included the visit from Dr. Diane Stadler. She taught us about nutrition and malnourishment. She came in from OHSU and really got the kids thinking.
Our next blog will be about our live skype session with my future brother-in-law Saif, who did a Q&A with the kids about the Middle East, Islam, and Muslim Culture. Did I mention he spoke to us from Tunisia?!
We will keep you posted throughout the year.
