Instructional Objectives: Students will create a fruits and vegetable shopping list for a $6 budget. Students will present shopping list showing how $6 budget is used.. || Create a realistic "voucher"on which students to list the items and their prices. Also, create a favorites list for the possible grocery stores that have websites for students to use. This list will need to be uploaded to each computer in the lab. || "The year is 2022. You are now responsible for providing for yourself. The standard of living is higher than today�s standard of living. Recession is worldwide and pretty much a way of life. To keep health costs down and human capital up, the government has banned all food that fits the characteristics of �junk food,� and made it mandatory for citizens to eat the daily recommended amount of fruits and vegetables. The only way this can be enforced and regulated is by issuing a monthly voucher that is good for $6 worth of fruits and vegetables. With the voucher, you are able to purchase any fruits and vegetables, canned, frozen, and/or fresh. However, once the produce has been purchased, people cannot physically be made to eat what has been bought, therefore, much of this produce does go to waste."

LESSON REFLECTIONS AND NOTES:

I was not surprised to find that this lesson would be somewhat difficult for the group of children with whom I worked. They seemed to understand the task but because of the varied ages, coming to a consensus regarding the shopping list took alot longer than expected. Once I put a time deadline on them, they sped up the process. I feel confident that this lesson will be successful in a normal class. ||

Participants will complete a power analysis, understand community-organizing models and local efforts. Participants will present a group project that discusses a common concern and proposed solution. . || **Instructional Objectives:** The parent leaders of Dunbar Elementary School and Sheltering Arms Early Learning and Literacy Resource Center will create a website that will be a source of communication for all parents of children at the complex. The site will allow parents to add and edit information as needed. ||

The group will develop a unified vision for the Dunbar school communities.

My husband and I had the pleasure to participate in this community awareness. It found that this related better to my “current” content. This program allows the parent leaders in our local school community to come together to bring about change. ==== ====<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The verdict is still out on the ease of working with participants – adults. Some were willing to try the wiki page while others discounted the effect it would have on our presentation. Other groups used PowerPoint as a part of their presentation. I felt the wiki page would have shown we had taken a serious step in connecting the “missing” parents to our purpose and ways they could still be in touch without physically being there. I’m still going to work on them. ====

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">Monthly Meetings every first Thursday |||| <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 15.33px;">Members will brainstorm to finish the following sentence starter. This will create a statement of commitment to the DunbarPLI. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 15.33px;">“Dunbar/Sheltering Arms is important to me because……. As a parent stakeholder in the Dunbar/Sheltering Arms community, I will 1)…2)…3)…” <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 15.33px;">Parents will have the option of using one, two, or all three promises. Parents share their results with the group. Commitment statements are added to the group’s wiki page. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 15.33px;">Take Home Assignment: Gather pictures (actual and/or digital) that relate to commitment statement to bring to the next meeting. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 15.33px;">Members will organize images to support commitment statement. They will walk through how to upload images to create digital commitment story using CyberLink Power Director. Members will begin to add stories to the DunbarPLI wikispace.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 15.33px;">Members will continue to add digital commitment statements to the DunbarPLI. The goal is to launch the wiki page at the start of the next school year to increase the amount of parent participation at both Dunbar Elementary School and Sheltering Arms-ELLRC.

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 15.33px;">Members will continue to complete digital stories while bringing more parents on board to communicate changes and events where parent participation is necessary. || <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">Voice and Vision / PLI Binder

We may have to create a flyer to go home informing the parents of our existence on the web. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16px;">**Back-Up Plan:** Create a community web page for parents to visit via Google sites. My husband and I want to see this through! || ====<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">We will begin our digital stories with the group at next month’s meeting. My husband and I are excited, but honestly feel like others may not share our same sentiments. It probably will not catch on until they actually see it in action, so we plan to get ours recorded before the next meeting. This is where I see the beginnings of the social change that I (and my husband) can bring about in our community. With the help of the United Way and the Parent Services Project, we are going to make this happen one way or another. ==== || ||
