Ms. Shipman

Write about something you learned or something that you have questions about from Ms. Shipman's visit. 

For instance, I was amazed at the number of refugees who fled to Pakistan and wondered how that country could sustain over 3 million refugees from another country. Whenever I hear about refugees it makes me wonder what it would feel like to be completely displaced, with no home base and no comfort. 

You don't have to write about this. Use the word wall to jog your memory about the different issues Ms. Shipman shared with us.

  15. I think that it was pretty fun when Mrs. Shipman came in to teach us about the people and ways of life in Afghanistan.....I learned a lot, and I feel so bad for all those people (especially the women) because they have such poor living conditions, most of them, and they have so much less than us over here in America......technology and otherwise.

  16. Having Mrs.Shipman in the class was great. It's too bad the Russians went down to Afghanistan on a rampage. They were communist, but I don't think they are any more.

  17. It was diffrent Ms. Shipman really cool so we all had fun and learned lots about people from Afghanistan. The afgan girl changed alot since the picture that was taken years ago. The quest to find her look hard because lots of people live in Afhganistan.

  20. I thought Ms. Shipman's lesson was fun! The match game was cool, but the kids in our class were obsessed with having the colors in a pattern and whatnot.

    Adios!!
