Following Your Footsteps-
Following Your Footsteps-
In the 6th-12th grade classroom, the students acquired knowledge of a civic footstep. The civic footstep is about the community. The students learned how to help in the community by doing the most basic and involved of tasks, such as picking up trash, volunteering, and walking an elderly woman across the street.

Today in the 6th-12th grade group, the students learned about conserving water in different ways, such as taking shorter showers and watering lawns on certain days. They then applied the knowledge they’d learned by doing an experiment involving cornstarch and water. The objective of the experiment was to make ooblek, which can turn into a solid with high pressures, and a liquid with low pressures. Because they were discussing water, they used a water calculator to calculate how much water they consume per day by doing the most basic of tasks, like brushing your teeth.

In the 6th-12th grade classroom, they learn more about the Civic footprint. The students made a poster about the Civic footprint, and they listed examples of the it. When they were done, the students reviewed the examples and gave feedback.

In the 6th-12th grade classroom, the students began working on their own anthologies, which was created on their very own Weebly page. A Weebly is a website that allows the students to practice their digital footprint while showing the knowledge they have learned. Eventually, they did an experiment to make an edible "water bubble" with ingredients like calcium and sodium.

Cultural Appreciation-
In the 6th-12th grade classroom, they learned about a Cultural Footprint, which represents the diverse cultures around the world. The students watched a video about different cultures. After the video, the students wrote in their journal about their own cultures. The topic was titled "I am who I am because..." and the paragraph included their religion, traditions, etc.

Working Progress-
In the 6th-12th grade classroom, the students studied about the digital footprint (a persons impact on technology) and carbon footprint (a persons impact on nature). Then, they added to their Weebly pages about the 4 different footprints, which are: carbon, civic, cultural, and digital. These Weebly pages will soon be published by the end of the week.

In the 6th-12th grade classroom, the students did an activity where they learned the negative and positive impacts humans can have on nature. Then, they brainstormed concepts on their websites via Weebly. The Weebly page is about the different footprints they learned throughout the two weeks of GVWP.

In the 6th-12th grade classroom, the students found a problem within a specific footprint of their choice, such as the digital footprint and addressed problems like being on their phones too much or limiting the use of phones and Internet. Then, they added their work to their Weebly pages based on one of the four footprints they chose such as civic, cultural, carbon, and digital.

In the 6th-12th grade classroom, the students finished their websites via Weebly. They learned about poetry and were encouraged to write their own poetry for one of the footprints they learned about and include it on their Weebly. Later, they learned about "Litterati", a phone app that teaches people about recycling and ways to not litter.

Today, in the 6th-12th grade classroom, they wrote about their greatest moments of footprint reflection. Some students liked the poetry, while others liked the website they built. The kids gained a lot of information about carbon, civic, cultural, and digital footprints and will use that information to be an asset to the community.
