=Welcome to Our Very Big Classroom= Welcome to our very big classroom! It includes students from Braeside, Lincoln, Ravinia, Sherwood, and Wayne Thomas who would like to meet each other, study, and share ideas together...like we do in class.

We will get together through SKYPE or here on this Wikisapce to meet, talk, and plan. These WIKI pages are for us to create, design, and share together.

Problem Based Learning:

The Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks (DFW) asks students to choose one of its orphaned and injured animals and make recommendations about its proper placement. Each student needs to make recommendations for a specific type of animal: what is the current climate situation and where is a new placement would be more optimal based on that specific animal's needs. Then other students as members of the Animal Rehabilitation Review Group for DFW, evaluate and either accept or reject the proposal.

Hi Tobe - My name is Sydney (I'm a girl.) and I am a 2nd grader at Braeside. I think your project is a really good idea! What animal are you thinking of studying? I'm thinking of studying "Polar Bears" since their home in the North Pole is melting because of global warming. What do you think?

Hi Tobe - I have some ideas about polar bears/global warming. What do you think about Green Week? Green Week is a week of green activities. For example - no electricity. One of the activities is a play outside day - to play outside as much as you can. Another one is one where you can make a project out of recycled paper and we hang it in stores for an advertisement to be green because the projects are making something that says - stay green or an earth that has a smiley face on it. Another one is a community walk where people in the community get together for a walk with the whole family. Do you have another idea for Green Week? It helps the polar bear by not using too much electricity and for the community walk you can walk anywhere plus there is a real community walk where I will be leading a bunch of people around the community for fun and to help the polar bears. Want to join? Sydney :-)

Hi Sydney,

We replied on the page marked "discussion." Let me know if you can see it. Tobe
