We had a wonderful class yesterday; one in which our talent Shin Shin Khen came in to teach us about poverty in Israel.  Her class was amazing in that it connected to the content and themes we have already studied, and shed light on a country (Israel) we know so much about already, but long to learn more.  She even developed a Candy Land type game.  When students landed on an action spot, they drew a card which represented real-life scenarios related to their health.  From there, they either moved forward or backward.

Every kid walked out of class pumped about the day.  Admittedly, I was a bit jealous.  Thanks Khen.
