Today's SIP day was full of new ideas and activities. The 5th and 6th grades rotated to 3 sessions. In the Quanada group, they watched a short documentary on a boy and a girl who had been abused and another girl who had been neglected with the message it is important to break the silence and get help. The health department group learned about cigarettes and e cigarettes and the chemicals they are made of and what they do to the body. In the library they learned about Cryptid Cons and used media literacy skills to objectively determine facts from emotions and then had to design their own cryptid in order to "sell it." The 7th and 8th grade rotated to 4 sessions. For art, they continued working on their clay or pastel projects from art class. For GearUp, students researched different local companies then decorated a pumpkin using the brand's mascot. In the Sugar Shock, students did guessing and experiments on how much sugar was in soda vs. lotus vs. gatorade vs. iced coffee! Lastly, Josh Martin, head of the Pike County Emergency Management Agency, spoke about emergency management in Pike County. Students learned that severe weather and flooding are the 2 main events here, planned flooding happens, the PCEMA is a result of 9/11, he works with the Nat'l Weather Service out of St. Louis, but also refers to Lincoln and the Quad Cities as well, and that the main duty is to monitor and disseminate information.
