How does Geography impact the way a culture of people live?

We are learning about the impact geography and climate have on an area and its people. A great example of this is The Netherlands. This small European country has had to cope with flooding waters from the North Sea for hundreds of years. Join us if you like on our quest to learn about this country and how it has managed to control the surging water and stay on the land they love.

Thank you from Heifer International

Pennies for Chicks

Picture
Join us as we collect pennies to purchase a Flock of Chicks for a family in Africa. Our snowman is already filling up and it's only been one morning. Thank you to all who donated their pennies so far.
We raised enough money ($64.37) to purchase three flocks of chicks for families in need. We sent a check to Heifer International on December 19.

Thank you to all who donated pennies. This was an inspirational project for all involved.

One Hen and Chicken Research

Picture
Mystery Puzzle
We are reading the book One Hen to learn how one small idea can change the world for many. In this true story, a young boy from Ghana buys one hen to help his mother and he ends up helping all of Western Africa.
If you were to buy a hen, which type would you buy? After reading 
One Hen, the third graders will research these fun, feathered critters and then fill out a questionnaire to see what type of hen is best for them.
Here's an idea to help change the world.
