Hello everyone!
On Friday we had a class discussion about the earthquake in Haiti. I told the students of s couple ways to help (and I was impressed and excited that a few of them already knew!). Mrs. Nicoson, a sixth grade teacher at BJHS and an auctioneer extraordinaire, is accepting donations for an auction that 6J2 will be sponsoring. If any of the students want to donate "auctionable" items, I will be happy to deliver them to her. We also talked about the ease of texting a donation to the Red Cross (text the word Haiti to 90999 for a $10 donation). We discussed that, with every major catastrophe, we must be cautious about who is asking for money, and Time magazine listed a few reputable organizations, such as the Red Cross and Doctors without Borders. The students were encouraged to share this information, but strongly discouraged from texting anywhere without permission. I have added a widget on the left-hand side of our class page. This link is sponsored by Blogger, where our site is "housed," and it will allow a quick click to donate to the Red Cross's international relief.
