I am sharing the questions the kids generated about Fiji yesterday.
I think they show that, even though they are excited about model
making, they are also thinking about many aspects of the Fijian culture.
We have been researching and sharing our ideas the last couple of days.
I want the kids to stick with my resource list. It's pretty extensive.
They all know how to access it by googling "bette's class notes" and
going to my blog. The link is on the right hand side under "Links". Feel
free to peruse.
