Kids In Action!

Students continue to be very busy working on their Inquiry Projects. Have a look!

Getting creative! These girls have been very busy making and selling a variety of crafty products, with hopes to donate some money to Anaphylaxis Canada. 

Trying to help endangered animals, these girls have been busy creating freehand drawings, taking orders, and selling their artwork to their friends!

Mr. Stevens looks on at a personal note she and her partner (see below picture) received from the Breast Cancer Society. The card was filled with encouragement for the girls, as well as thanks for helping raise awareness for this important cause!

The 'swag bag' of goods - promotional material provided to these two girls, after they contacted the Breast Cancer Society - Toronto Chapter, and shared their passion for helping to raise money for research into curing Breast Cancer. 

In this picture, students are learning how to use Microsoft Publisher. Each student will write and publish an article in the first issue of the Kids in Action magazine. These articles will showcase student's work throughout the inquiry process.

There have been many examples of students collaborating and sharing ideas, like these two. These boys are hoping to make a make a difference for Polar Bears and their shrinking habitat, and for Jumpstart, a program which hopes to provide opportunities for sports to children in spite of family income.

Learning about ALS!

Earth Rangers!

Trying to help endangered animals by making and selling bracelets!

Drafting emails and filling out planning sheets.

These two girls are sharing artsy ideas and supporting each other in their fundraising causes, to support the endangered Pygmy Hippos, and to buy a goat for a family in an African nation.

The animals these boys have made will hopefully help them raise money for an endangered species of Ghecko.

Working on behalf of endangered plant species!

These boys are hoping to raise enough money to make a donation to an organization that works to deactivate and remove abandoned land mines. They need just under $60 to make it! They are making bracelets to sell and babysitting.

Focused!

Writing an email to the Pregnancy Resource Centre in Barrie to ask about volunteering. These girls visited the centre for a tour, and now hope to do their part to help. Their project began with an inquiry into International Adoption.
