HI Team - So we did make it ! The Holidays are Here.....Qing...I can't seem to find the picture book the Human Footprint? perhaps we had the title wrong? can you post the correct title?
I'm going to the dollar store monday to grab some felt, if I cant find big enough pieces there I may go to fabric land. I'm excited to play around and create....I havent looked too hard but here's a little factoid ~ I'm thinking how I'll use it. Of course Stats can has a ton of info. I'm going to try and stand at a grocery store and count how many people use plastic bags

According to The Public Recycling Officials of Pennsylvania, for every ton of paper that is recycled, the following are saved:
17 trees
275 pounds of sulfur
350 pounds of limestone
9,000 pounds of steam
60,000 gallons of water
225 kilowatt hours
3.3 cubic yards of landfill space
Nearly 60 to 70% of waste found in dustbins can be recycled and reused and close to 50% of the same waste can be composted.
JOHANNA - thanks for the summary - maybe you want to post it here?

Hello everybody... I created this wikispace for all of us to publish and discuss ideas about our presentation during practicum.
I don't know that much about wikispaces - only that it is free and every member can add and edit content. (Just click on the 'edit' button, write and change, click on the 'save' button...)
If anybody knows more about how to design and edit this place please feel free and change around...
Talk soon and good luck with the practicum - Johanna
Hi Ladies,
I was just playing around with some stop animation. Perhaps we can record the process of making each quilt square using stop-animation as our format for youtube. Each step would be photographed. You can use this method and include writing, or even take photos of hands cutting out shapes, etc...Here's a couple fun examples to get a feel for stop motion.
Looking forward to throwing around some ideas. Does someone have the notes from our meeting? I think I gave mine to someone in our team. Otherwise, If I remember, we were talking about having students use a pie chart to represent the different cultures, languages, interests, etc in the room. Maybe students can do a pie chart or use different shapes to represent what they like to do in their spare time, videogames, family, eating, sleeping, homework, holidays, etc? In Grade 8, they work with Quadrilaterals, and triangles, and areas, so students could actually measure the correct, corresponding shape size in proportion to their statics.
