Pennies for Peace - Fact or Fiction

The latest controversy about Greg Mortensen's true colours is a quick study in media literacy. The allegations about his misuse of funds and misleading tales in his book makes us all feel somewhat betrayed. On the other hand does this bad thing that he did (embellishing) mean that  he has not done a good thing for thousands of children? Watch the video about the charges faced by Greg Mortensen and make your voices heard about what we should do with the hundreds of dollars that we have collected for the Pennies for Peace program. If you do not feel that we should give the donation to Pennies for Peace, then please make a suggestion for another charity.

Fourth Grade Debate
Picture
The most fascinating event currently in the news is the death of Osama Bin Ladin. Americans are thrilled to bits because they view this as justice being served. Fourth Graders were too young to grasp what happened during September 11, 2001, but they are not too young to join the conversation about the implications of Osama’s demise. Does his death mean that we can now relax and savour the taste of sweet revenge or will it trigger more war and bloodshed? Will it end up causing the loss of more innocent American lives? Share your views here to help clarify your thoughts for the upcoming classroom debates.
