Day 23-24

The students began brainstorming their GIVE projects today. The kids and I went to freerice.com and played a few rounds while donating. After school, I gave some pizza slices and pop to the two hard workers who came to do homework.
Day 24
The students are really excited. They came up with lots of great ideas. The afternoon group came in eager to share how many "grains of rice" they managed to donate last night. I can;'t wait for them to share in writing.

This one was hard. I don't know if I actually GAVE or not. In the AM, I drove our guest to the train station...but it was on my way. Instead of teaching on Monday, I had been sent to a workshop on brain functions and organization to see if we want incorporate the practices into our Team structure...I had volunteered for it in the fall, so it didn't seem very altruistic. I did take notes for everyone so that the team will feel as if they have enough info to make an educated… Continue

Well the Brain Tumor Walk-a-thon was really cool~my good friend Jill and her family met the kids and I out at Montrose Harbor early on Saturday AM. Although sunny, the temps had dropped over 40 degrees since the day before, so the spring walk we had planned upon turned into a blustery and brisk walk. We all had a great time. I hope this was only the beginning.
Later I picked up a friend who has been having a hard time and had the opportunity to talk with… Continue

- Hi Mimi! I'm Gianna Jasinski and I'm 13. I'm new to the site and a woman referred me to your discussion page about involving kids! I love the idea, since I'm doing a similar project. I was inspired by Cami in oct. and I wanted to do a challenge for kids. So, I contacted 3 middle schools, over 100 kids, and some have taken the challenge, while some are finishing up. Currently, I'm writing a short book on their experiences, and how the challenge affected them. Maybe we could work together to discuss ideas, I'd love to hear how the challenge went with your kids! Do you have any stories that really striked you, that I could use in my book. I have talked to Cami about this and my book will eventually be posted on her website. Again, I'd love to hear from you! Thanks, Gianna

Ruth said… - Hi, Mimi. I took the challenge up in November and whilst I have lost focus at times and not given with full awareness I am still with it. I’m on a bit of a “mission” now and I'm exploring the site looking at other people’s experiences. You did some amazing things and I liked the way you got so many young people involved. I’m sure that I’m not the only one who’d like to hear how things are going now.

Sabriyah Fatimah said… - Hi Mimi, I am also a school teacher- but because I am just a subject teacher (English), I am thinking of ways to incorporate the 29 days into my classes. Any ideas?

Mimi said… - Over the last few days, I have been running around like the proverbial headless chicken. I am organizing an Eco-Fair in which the Environmental Club students will get to show off all the work they have done over year. They are trying to raise awareness in the school and community. It's a great opportunity for them to teach others. Here's my question, and it may seem silly, but...if I was already organizing this...does it still count in "the daily give?"
