Update:
Diane has returned from Uganda to share photos and stories. She also brought back letters and a book. Our 4th graders now have pen pals from Uganda! How exciting!!
Ronnie's Visit
Ronnie came Thursday! The classes were very excited to meet him and hear stories about his life. He spoke about living on the streets since the age of 6. He talked about how he began his program and how he's now helping children get off the streets as well. Students asked all kinds of questions about the children there, sports, foods, school, and life in general. It was an amazing experience.
The classes will be working to creating a commercial or PSA to share this program with other students. Throughout this project, our students will be in communication with the children from Uganda. We plan to skype with the students there very soon. Our kids are also creating a book all about American life which they will send to Uganda. The Uganda children will be sending a "All About Uganda" book back in return. We are looking forward to this amazing opportunity!
Below, students are creating a plan for their PSA/commercial.
