I think this is a topic that will hit home with our nation and students as we work hard to stay healthy and make safe choices to keep us healthy during these challenging times. It is also important for us to take care of ourselves (self care) and recognize what we need in order to feel safe and healthy. Also with a focus on keeping our minds safe and healthy too!

| Mrs. Higginbotham, Media Specialist. Grade 4, Parkview Village Elementary, High Point, NC 35.9694° N, 79.9831° W web: https://www.facebook.com/parkviewvillagehp/ We are 44 fourth grade students strong. We have Panther Pride and we are Respectful, Outstanding, Accepting, and Responsible. We ROAR!! If our Monster used Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) she would make our world a better place to live by working on SDG #3: Good Health and Well Being. We would use science and technology to create a vaccine for Malaria. This would greatly help developing countries that still suffer and die from this disease. We would also use science and technology to share information about not only the Covid vaccine, but other vaccines as well in developing countries where information is hard to come by and/or is false and based on fear. This would hopefully encourage more people to become vaccinated. (Eyebrows) |

Every week at The Phoenix School, which is located in Salem, Massachusetts, we have different student partnerships of all ages, ranging from TK-8th grade. Partners allow us to simultaneously work together and strengthen our independence and develop our leadership skills. Every year, we try reaching out to as many people as possible around the world. In this way we can collaborate with various students on projects and learn about their culture, while concurrently teaching them about ours. The Early Act Club is a student organization where we get selected into committees and complete meaningful community service for the world, the city, and the school. Hands-on work is a dominant part of our Phoenix curriculum. We always try to branch away from the standard pen and paper, to advance our learning, and to cogitate more. Here at Phoenix, we believe that we are architects of our learning. (Nose and Nose Ring) |
