 Students have been working this week on figuring out their water footprint by using online water calculators; then deciding what they can do to help reduce their footprint.
is a memory style game that gives great tips for saving water.  Pirate Treasure Mahjongg is similar to classic mahjongg in that you delete tiles, but this game features a twist of earning higher points based on your matches. When you begin the game you see illustrations of how to play.
This game has been added to the games page.  I love to find new avatar makers and this morning I stumbled upon one that lets you make yourself into an M&M character. Choose the color of your shell, hair, feet, and gloves, then add accessories.
I turned myself into the beautiful confection at left. Yes, I'm wearing a tiara...but hey..if I can be an M&M then I can be a princess too!

The great thing about a wiki is that multiple people can collaborate on the same site, using their strengths to help each other out. Wiki's however can be tricky; with multiple people editting a site contributions have to be monitored. We are using wikispaces for our school wiki in honor of National Nutrition Month.
Mrs. Geigner monitors the wiki site for updates (changes, additions, and deletes) as students add, upload, and edit to the wiki on a variety of nutrition topics. The wiki will stay active for editing until the end of the Hammitt Health Wiki project (the end of March) at which point editors will be locked out of the wiki (the wiki will still remain active for viewing). Students are also working on designing fitness routines with Ms. Lenzi which will be added to the wiki site. Our goal is to see many students and teachers contribute to the Hammitt Health wiki site!
The conference portion we attended lasted two days, and I presented two sessions while I was there. In one session I talked about things we did in our technology class, like our "Green Ideas Customer Newsletter" project we did. Other schools were very excited to hear about our awesome students and what they are achieving in technology class!
|  Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.
