Gaming to Learn- Food Street

Food street is a great app to download to teach kids how to mange and run a business. It is very kid friendly for upper elementary students and all ages past that. Kids will learn how to set up their own restaurant, take orders, and buy, sell, and grow food to make the customer's orders. This is a great way to relate things in the real world to learning so kids can understand it better, they can experience it first hand through this app and it allows them to try out things of their own when it comes to making a business run. In this game, your thought process consists of thinking about what orders you need, what you need to grow to make those orders, and then purchasing new items to make more food. It involves keeping track of money and gems to make sure you have enough to purchase things at each new level. This is a great game for almost any age and you are constantly learning during it!

This lesson was dealing with integrating dance and movement into the lesson plan to get the students up and active. So many times now in schools, it's becoming more and more important to get students up and moving and engaged with various movement activities. We took this into our own hands and made sure we were planning a lesson with dance and still relating it to Earth Day! The we first read a book to the students: It's Earth Day! by Mercer Mayer . This book has a main character who learns about Earth Day in school, and wants to do something to save the polar bears. He starts by unplugging the computer and turning off the lights, then turns off the water when you aren't using it.

The Leader in Me Conference

I went to the Leader in Me conference on Saturday April 7th. This conference lasted from 8am-12pm and had a lot of great information to go along with it. We started the conference in one of the bigger lecture halls in Schindler, with about 100 people at the conference. There were students from UNI, Wartburg, and a few from Hawkeye Community College along with elementary school students from St.Edwards Catholic School, Orchard Hill Elementary, and Lou Henry. They had students between the ages of 2nd grade and 5th grade represented from these three schools to give presentations about each of the 7 Habits.
