Students have been cleaning out their piggy banks to give pennies to some cause or causes.  We met today to consider which cause to give money to.  We have several possibilities including the organization that funds schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan, run by Greg Mortenson of Three Cuyps of Tea.  We are also looking at other suggestions made by students in the class. In addition to learning about different organizations, we are learning about decision-making when we do not vote.  Students are good at speaking what is on their hearts and minds.  Now we practice listening to others, some with strong feelings in a variety of directions.  What is clear through all this is that we have a very caring, concerned class.
