Do Now

Seeing the commercials of the abused animals and hungry people make me think about how good my life is compared to theirs. Many people in second world countries don't have enough food and starve. Seeing people help them these people by giving them food and building schools for their children to get an education inspire me to help in some way to make our world a better place. Some people live lavish lives, while others live in dirt. While the rich people have a say in almost everything, these people don't have a say in anything. This is similar to abused animals, they don't really have a say in anything, and it is sad how we can relate animals to people on their conditions. We shouldn't be able to compared a person's life conditions to that of an animal.
My life goals can fulfill my own needs as well as helping the community. I could do this by having a good job, making money, and donating some of my money to charity to help others. Hopefully some of this money could go to helping people in second world countries as well as people in my community. In addition to giving money, I could also go out of my way to help the people by giving them the food myself, or helping build the schools, building, or even water wells.

If Vesta were to close, I would go to Tina Louise at 403 Hackensack Street Carlstadt, NJ 07072. To make a reservation their number is 201-933-7133.

You Can Buy Girl Scout Cookies Online

Through a national platform called Digital Cookie, Girl Scout Cookies will be sold online. The organization now believes that the girls can learn valuable skills by selling their cookies on the internet. They hope that it will help them learn and be grounded in technology, as-well as learning valuable interpersonal skills. Girl Scouts will continue the traditional way of sales, along with selling them online. The organization also wanted to level out the playing field for all of the 2.3 million Girl Scouts. They didn't want some scouts and parents using advanced Web skills to gain an edge over their peers. The online sales are expected to launch on December 12th. The traditional cookie season begins in January.

Do Now 12/2

If I were a teacher I would add gardening class to the curriculum. This class would meet year round during the school day. During the spring and the fall, the class would go outside to garden as well as learning about gardening and plants. While during the winter they would only be inside learning about gardening and plants. Vegetables would also be a main learning topic, in the hopes that students would want to grow vegetables at home and be healthier. 

To be more in depth, students during the spring and fall would learn about gardening techniques, where different plants need to be planted to thrive, and more. After learning the subject, the class would then go outside and try what they have learned. During the winter, the class would still learn all about plants, but not have as many opportunities to try what they learn themselves. However, little planters could be used in the class room for demonstrations all year round when the weather is not adapt for going outside. The class would be very interactive and welcoming to every student. Although the teacher would make sure that the students don't get to loud.
