​“How can I use what I have to get what I don’t have?”

What limited resources are people dealing with around the world? How are others helping? (This knowledge is inspiring action from others)

What limited resources do we have in our class, school or community?
In our class, we used our creativity to come up with more seating, tables, and shelves for our books.

While Eloise's Grandma, Mrs. Kung was in town visiting from Philadelphia, she stopped by to give us a lesson on the voting process. Mrs. Kung is a poll worker and was able to help us understand all that goes into Election Day. We learned so  much and walked away with a lot of appreciation for the Political Responsibility that people demonstrate when volunteering their time for Election Day. November 8th will be a long day for poll workers.

Did you know that in Philadelphia, they do not have early voting?

Reflecting on our week and completing homework from our new learning menu. We enjoyed all of the lessons that were taught by classmates this week.
