Dr. George and IGNITE Ann Arbor

Dr. George came by our class this afternoon and shared his five-minute presentation on the Guatemalan windmill project that he recently delivered at Ignite Ann Arbor. 

Thursday lunch clean up

Our class has lunch clean-up duty every Thursday. It's a small, but important responsibility shared by the 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 homerooms. At the beginning of the year, it was often a chaotic, inefficient process. A surprising number of kids clearly had no idea how a broom actually works. More recently, the class has gelled into a (usually)effective and efficient team, and they even seem to enjoy the work. This photo was taken immediately following an impromptu broom dance by Gabe, who is probably thrilled and relieved that I'm not posting video of it here. On Fridays, the lunch room is cleaned by an assortment of volunteers from all of the homerooms, and I'm proud to say that there are always at least a few representatives from our class who help out.
