First Day


October 5, 2012


Today we really started having a conversation about childhood hunger, the Sodexo grant, and where to start.

Our first step was to come up with a name or catch phrase for our project.  After many suggestions and much voting, we came up with: Outrun Childhood Hunger.  

Our second step was to work on a press release for the project.  Thank goodness we had a template.  This tied in well with our media literacy TEKS.  We talked briefly about who would you send a press release to and why.  We will dig deeper into this conversation next week.

Take a look at some of our work for today.  I'm looking forward to students updating this site in the coming months!


Starting with a picture book always helps students connect!


After reading the book we made some text-to-world connections.  Then students wrote down their questions about hunger.
