My students are working on their Civitas project. Civitas is a St. Louis gem--a model UN program. The students who participate choose a country, research its problems, draft a UN resolution to solve one of those problems which involves data, a plan and a budget.
Yesterday (the first day I should have posted :( my classes waded through websites and asked lots of questions. Since Ukraine is on everyone's mind, there were were several resolutions from countries intending to sponsor Ukraine.
If only all world leaders would have the hope and the peace in their hearts that our students have...
not one of my classes
hope and the peace in their hearts... yes, if only.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of experience that makes me miss being in the classroom. Our kids can have the biggest hearts and show so much compassion. Our future can be brighter. 💕
ReplyDeleteTracy--Yeah. If only adults in charge could have the same hope and concern that children have.
ReplyDeleteCaroline--I hope so. We've certainly screwed things up enough. They HAVE to do a better job than we have.
