The wagner free institute for science News

On Friday June 31 our group went to the wagner free institute for science. In there they have alot of old material like philosophy, religion, science, and educational reform. The extensive journal collection includes research done by most major European and Asian scientific societies and many publications from smaller scientific societies, and also they have auditorium from 1900 where science education classes were taught. we did an activity called a "scavenger hunt", where we went around the museum to find creatures that matched the given hints. In my opinion, I think the meseum is kind of cool because they have all different kind of species and can you believe they acually have one dinosaure bone in there.

S.O.S (... --- ...)

On Friday July 17, 2009, University Green interviewed an internship group that is creating a website for parents and those unable to read. The internship is creating the website so that parents know what is going on in the school, because the school fails to inform the parents of school activities. We feel that parents should be informed about the progress of their children and it is sad that the school does not care enough to keep parents involve. Parents in the community want to be involved and it is proven when they work with the interns to help create the website.

Some parents care, but some are illiterate and the website is trying to help them by making videos in multiple languages. This is going to be very helpful and it is making a huge change. This website is creating a more welcoming community and comfortable environment for students and parents.

This project is funded by the Digital Service. To get more info, check out their blog at pevywp.blogspot.com!!!
