Walking in Our Elders Footprints

Mrs. B. Martin wanted to share an exceptional feat that someone is doing. It is entitled "Walking in Our Elders Footprints for Mother Earth and Our Future Generations". Basically, Pakane (which means Grasshopper) or Steven Baranyai (his English name) is walking a great distance, from Niagara-on-the-Lake to Thunder Bay, to support the Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation's struggle concerning mining rights and the exploitation of their native land. To track his progress, send him an e-mail of support, or find more info, click here.

Touchdown S@GE

Ready to depart.
Ting tells the students what will happen if they don't behave.
They listen in a mix of fear and awe.
Not there 5 minutes and a mini-stick game breaks out of nowhere.
Behind the back, between the legs.
Team Green has their backs against the wall!
Getting to know you bingo. Apparently, they think Mr. R.G. can dance.
They will reassess that hypothesis the next evening.
Mr. Shoggy breaks the furnace.
Lydia breaks a banana.


Mission to Mars

Mission to Mars
The Earth, The Moon, and Mars.
Balloon is Under Pressure.
Marshmallows under pressure.
Mike likes pressurized marshmallows.
Danielle and Tia, not so much.
Watching what happens to fruity fizzy pop in space.
Tasting that fizz while watching what an apple will do under low pressure.
