Electronic Portfolio
The students are working in the Portfolio to enter pictures of work and events in second grade. They have one half-hour block each week to work in the media lab with direct teacher instruction for finding, then inserting pictures into the proper place in the Portfolio. This week each child entered a picture in the community section of the Portfolio with Mrs. Phillip during their media class. The community section of the Portfolio also has International Aid pictures from our visit there. This week we took pictures during the visit of Mrs. Buchannan, who taught the class the history of the resorts of the Tri-Cities. The students will add the information they learned about the history of resorts in Grand Haven area under each picture.

Children's Thoughts
QUILTING FOR CLEAN WATER
Thursday, December 4, was the day the students designed the quilt square for our International Aid quilt. Mrs. Sipe instructed the children in the use of fabric crayons. She demonstrated the variety of patterns used as the basis of the design. The students worked very hard to make a lovely nautical themed design on the 12x12 cloth square. These squares will be on display at International Aid during the arts and craft show this weekend. You can bid on the quilt. It could be yours. Added information is in the flyer included in the report card envelope. All of the money raised will be donated for the water filters.
FIELD TRIP
The class visited the International Aid head quarters here in Spring Lake. The trip brought an awareness to the children for the needs of others around the world. Here are some of their thoughts in the form of thank you letters to International Aid:
Dear International Aid,
Gavin:
Thank you for teaching me about the world. How do you get the boxes to different countries?
Logan:
Thank you for letting us come. I liked your stuff. We want one of your filters for the poor so they can have a good life. ( Those forklifters were cool.)
Robbie:
Thank you! For letting us come. The new filter was very interesting.
Theo:
Thanks for showing all your awesome stuff. It was really, really cool. I liked it. That was a really cool filter and quilts. It's like a wonder land. Thanks very, very much.
Kaitlynn:
Thank you for letting us come. My favorite thing is the lab in the suitcase.
Maria:
How can I help you? I love the part that you help other people. Thank you Mrs. Null and Mrs. Fish.
Isabel:
I didn't know people could get sick from smoke and I didn't know sand can make clean water. I liked the quilt. I want to go there again.
Jon:
I want to be just like you and clean out the water.
Matthew:
I like everything you have. It was cool. I like the hospital beds. I like the fork lifts, too. I like the water filters. I like the foam kind of foam, but it is curly. Thank you for the trip.
Giovana:
How do you know how to sew so good. It probably takes a lot of practice. I really want to know how to sew so I can help kids around the world, people who need quilts. Thank you for everything. The field trip was great.
