The 2012 Exhibition Environment Group minus Hannah
We were the Environment Group. Our goal was to renew the lunch time activity, Roots and Shoots. We wanted to educate the IST community and we suceeded. We now have a wonderful group of 11 students in the Roots and Shoots Club. Roots and Shoots will be a big part of IST.
We learned:
- that you need to make sure everyone understands what to do
- that you need a goal to start off with and to work towards
- that you should set essential agreements and try to have minimum disagreements
- that you should have serious times, but make sure you have lots of fun!
Our advice to fourth graders would be to choose a topic for the Exhibition that they are passionate about, not waste time playing and not try to do too many things at once. Always work as a team.
