Wow, what a big question for a 3rd grade classroom. If you follow us on Twitter (@LarsonGrade3), you probably noticed the picture from Wednesday of our class chatting with some one via Skype Classroom.
I challenged the class with a big question, " How can we make a positive difference in our community?" We then interviewed the Communication Director of the Fargo YWCA, via Skype. We asked her about the YWCA and some of the problems they deal with. Next, we chose, as a class, which one we thought we could have the most impact on; Poverty in the FM area.
Today the kids met with a partner and brainstormed possible solutions to the problem. They discussed things such as; who can help us? What will we do? What will the steps be? and how can we measure our impact?
