Yamaris
Yami is currently on a 4th grade reading level. She is a member of the AGC eco-club. This is a group of students who look for ways to save energy at AGC. Yami encouraged her grandparents to start recycling at home. Outside of school she enjoys playing soccer and playing games with her sister.
Matt
Matt is a founding member of the AGC Eco-Club. During the recent Second Grade unit on Sustainable Architecture, he was able to interview our architects how they were able to build the greenhouse at AGC. Matt enjoys riding his bike to school because it is healthy for our bodies and our planet.
Jason
I am a global citizen because I care for all my friends at AGC. I also have a lot of ideas in my head.
When I grow up I want to be the best surgeon because I want to help people.
I help our planet by recycling and composting.
I hope that President Obama is a global citizen. I hope he makes our country healthy.
My favorite yoga pose is child's pose because it is very relaxing.
I like eating a healthy breakfast at AGC because it is tasty and it gives me large muscles.
I am an inquirer because I go to school everyday and ask questions.
Alexis
When I grow up, I want to be a paleontologist because I love animals. I am an inquirer because I want to be more knowledgeable. I like learning about Math because there are lots of numbers.
I am a global citizen because I help the earth. I help our planet because I plant flowers. My favorite vegetable is broccoli because it tastes good.
Caleb
I am a global citizen because I like to be friendly and kind. I also make safe choices. This is not always easy, but I do my best and so far it works. I help our planet by recycling. We have three trashcans in the class; one is a recycling bin, we have the trash can, and the compost bin. Composting is good for the earth because you make a little bit of new earth every time. The solar panels on my school give us energy and they are better for the earth than other energy.
I am open-minded because I have many friends. Sometimes my friends like something else than I do, but that is okay. I am also open-minded because I try not to waste food. My favorite food in AGC's garden is carrots. I like eating a healthy breakfast at AGC because it makes me feel healthy. My favorite yoga pose is the cat cow. You need to be on your knees and your hands and you bent your back up an down. It looks like a cat but I think it does not really look like a cow. Still, it is my favorite pose.
I am happy President Obama is chosen to be our leader. I hope he likes his white house. As an inquirer, I ask a lot of questions.
Tavaris
I am a global citizen because I like to help people. I help them by being caring, which is one of the characteristics of a global citizen. I also help our planet because we need to take care of the environment. My teacher told me about birds, wild animals, and plants. Composting food is good for the earth because you make new soil. Worms help to make the new soil. The solar panels on my school five us energy for the lights. It is clean energy and better than normal energy.
I like eating a healthy breakfast at AGC because it makes me healthier. When we eat good food, our brains can grow better. I like to eat broccoli. I like it the best when it is cooked but also a little bit crunchy. We do not have broccoli in the garden from AGC, but I am sure we could do it. We just need to wait for a new season. I like to do the child's pose because it makes me feel relaxed. I also like the warrior pose.
I am a critical thinker because it makes me smart. My mom told me to think about the things I do. I think about math and reading, but I also think about the rules of the school. As an inquirer, I like to read books because books are a great resource. Sometimes you need to read a lot to know your answer, but that is okay. When I grow up I would like to be a doctor. As a doctor, I can help people and I think it is interesting. I am glad President Obama is our leader. I think he will do a good job because he is smart and caring.
Maria
When I grow up, I want to be a teacher so that more students can learn. I am an inquirer because I think hard about inquiry so that I can learn more.
My favorite yoga pose is child's pose. It is so relaxing. I hope that President Obama will be a global citizen and help the world not to be poor.
Joshua
I am a global citizen because I share with others.
I like to help the earth by making sure I recycle. I make sure to stop pollution so the plants can grow.
My favorite vegetable in AGC's garden is green beans because they are healthy and when I bite into them water squirts out.
When I grow up I want to be an illustrator so I can draw pictures in a book. My favorite things to draw are flowers and outer space.
