Let's give it up for Rosebud 3rd graders Eugene and Mijo!
Mijo recently completed all of his multiplication facts!
Mijo and Eugene proudly display their fact finders
Eugene - what can we say! You ROCK, dude! Eugene has completed addition, subtraction, multiplication and is TWO FOCUS FACTS away from conquering division. Wow! That's a lot of hard work. You should be very proud of yourself. It sure looks like your classmates are proud of YOU!
Eugene enjoys the fruits of his success! What a great support team!
After reading recent articles in the New York Times, it is difficult seeing iPads in the hands of our students without also imagining the deplorable conditions under which they were produced. With Apple sitting solidly as the world's number one company, isn't there something they can do about this?
Of course there is.
They just have to want to do something about it.
According to an anonymous Apple executive quoted in the New York Times, all Apple has to do is demand it, and it’ll happen – “Suppliers would change everything tomorrow if Apple told them they didn’t have another choice.”
Toronto teens Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad worked during four months' worth of free Saturdays to put together their balloon-borne experimental package, including four cameras, a cell phone with a GPS, a home-made parachute and a Lego figure holding a Canadian flag.
Lego Man returned from his 80,000 feet (how many miles is that), 65-minute flight, with a cache of video and still images. Rather than simply consuming the creations of others via an iPad, for example, these teens put together a remarkable display of creativity, ingenuity, and wise use of a limited cash supply. The whole flight was put together for under $500.
Put those iPads away and get your imaginations back out. ;-)
Nice. Show that we are more than that - every day, every class, every assignment. Pride, bravery, perseverance. Every day. Every class. Every assignment. We are Todd County.
