Behind The Scenes Marketing “Scheme”

On Jan29th a Friday, the 4th,5th, and 8th graders of Cornerstone Learning Community put on a “Haitian Food For Haitian Lives” fundraiser, to help raise money for Haiti after the earthquake hit. Two of our teachers here at school have some relashion to the subject, Miss Small the 4th grade teacher is from Jamaica, and  Miss Janviar the social studies teacher she happens to be part Jamaican and Haitian now for the info. 

I am writing on how they got they got the word out . Its the day before the event, children are scurrying around the room putting last min touches on there posters, now some quotes from the kids,5th grade student Jay,”Well, you know its for a good cause and well you know its a GREAT way to stay in shape and well you know its for a good cause. Other student Wilson Abshire, does concer.

For most children this was not a horrible experience.The poster making was fun as student Lilli Hanks said “It was fun running around the school hanging up posters and what not.” Personally I thought getting the word out was easier than it would be, but it was still fun, with a total earning of $1200. With a total number of  75 students, in my perspective that’s a lot of money. student Augie Soder quotes ,”It was hard but it was fun.” That’s how we, the 5th,4th and 8th grade ,GOT THE WORD OUT.

Tanzanian Proverbs

Today in class we are looking for proverbs from whatever country we are studying.  There are many idioms and proverbs in African culture. I believe (and research supports this) that these idioms and proverbs were created to teach those who are younger in an simpler yet harder way. Simple because they are straight facts, and more difficult because they have to figure out what the proverbs mean on their own. Idioms and proverbs do not have to change as the society changes, they hold truth and fact over time.      

Here are some of my favorite Tanzanian Proverbs:

  1. He who tells the truth, is never wrong. 
  2. An empty sack can not stand.
  3. We start as fools and become wise through experience.
  4. The mouth of an elderly man is without teeth, but never without words of wisdom.
  5. To be happy in one’s home is better than being a chief.
  6. The patient person eats ripe fruit.
  7. You will get hurt by talking about people behind their back.

My Family Trip to Yellow Stone

I’m going to tell you about a trip I went on with my family.We went to Yellow Stone.when we got to our hotel I saw how the rooms were very nice,but there was NO TV !!!( I was terrified).

So for entertainment Iwould  lye on my back and think about what I could be doing back in back at my house in Tallahassee. But when we went out side I thought about what I couldn’t be doing back in Tallahassee.

 There was snow falling from the somewhat light blue sky,and the constant pane in my back because  of  my 14 year old brother pelting me in the back with snow balls ( I was excited to turn around and pelt him with a snow ball ). At the same time I was feeling bad for my mom and dad who where back in Tallahassee ( I was there with my grandmother Jean and my brother Lars ).

I knew what would get my mind off of  it a nice long snooze WOW !!! time fly when your being pelted with snow balls.

 

ONE DAY LATER

I woke up.

My brother and grandma  where already awake  and dressed I threw on some jeans, jacket , some glove’s, and a hat and we where off to go Rock Climbing.

 When we got to the Grand Tea Tons my grandma left my brother and I with the Rock Climbing instector we hiked up the mountain and got to a somewhat flat spot with boulders 50 feet tall. The instructor tot my brother and I how to belay.

It was my turn to climb about 25 feet up the rock I started to slip I looked down to see if the instructor was watching me then I saw my brother was belaying me.

 The boy who I fight with verbally and fiscally ,had my life in his hand’s . Luckily I made it home alive once I got home as SO SO SO SO SO SO SO excited to sleep in my personel bed once more.
