Global Issues

10/12/2013

We are learning about issues around the world.  It is amazing to learn about how much we have that other students don't have.  We take a lot for granted.  We are looking for ways that we can help. Several of us looked at different sites and you can check out our posts if you have time. Noel wrote about Free Rice. Makayla wrote about Blog Action Day. Madisyn wrote about a boy's life in Syria. Brianna wrote about World Food Day.  We had a good time learning about issues around the world.  Probably the most important thing we learned is that there is more to learn and we can help in our own way. Nothing is to small.

Here are some of the links from the Student Blogging Challenge about human rights and global issues. Maybe you will learn something new.
