Exhibition

Today, (Friday January 9th, 2009) my exhibition group got together in my principals office to have a conference call. First, I must tell you what exhibition is. Exhibition is something that the fifth grade teachers at my school do every year. What we do is gather together on something were all concerned about, and do all in our power to change it, We do this by taking action. Through some reasearch, my group found an international program called Kid Power. Their main goal is to teach kids techniques on how to be more confident and more safe in scary situations. Our goal, as part of "Kids Have the Power" exhibition group is to do allin our power to prevent as much kidnapping as we can. We chose as our action to run a workshop. This workshop is to teach 1st-5th graders how to be safer in scary situations, and the Kid Power group teaches in a fully positive way. Today, we did a conference call with the Kid Power Leader of Colorado Springs to see when we could do this workshop. She told us that we could do the workshop on Feb. 2 and Feb.9, but we should probably have a rain date, which we made Feb. 23 and Mar. 2. Normaly this program costs 700 dollars, but since we have more than 50% free and reduced lunch, we qualify for a grant pay for everything, except for snacks and water during the two workshops.



2/2/09 Today we are going to have our Kid Power Workshop. Here is a slide show of our pictures.

I am announcing that I will not be adding anything farther to this page because exhibition was in 5th grade, and I am now currently in 6th grade. I am hear by shutting down this page!!!
