Today, in Mrs. Rice's class, we learned about developed and developing countries. Each student took on the role of a different country. We examined average annual income, average annual healthcare spending, average percentage of people immunized for measles, average number of doctors per 100,000 people, average life expectancy, access to clean drinking water, average percent of children who live past 5 years old, malaria threat, and average percent of kids enrolled in school. The students got to take steps forward or backwards depending on the stats for their country. Then they participated in a race. This prompted great discussions about how some countries had an unfair advantage in the race and how that relates to the real world.

Veteran's Day assembly at WRJH
Students in Mrs. Smith's 7th Grade Geography class are investigating the disappearance of the Aral Sea in Central Asia by analyzing data from text, maps, graphs, photographs, and charts . When students finish this project they will understand that water diverted for irrigation or other purposes can have a direct impact on the environment, including environments that cross international boundaries. In the case of the Aral Sea, beginning in 1954, the Soviet Union irrigated the rivers supplying the sea with water in order to bring water to their cotton crops in the Kara Kum Desert. This irrigation caused devastating and almost irreversible harm to the environment and economy of the countries of Kazakstan and Uzbekistan.
