High School John Shea, HS Principal—jshea@isp.edu.pa Eric Monson, Assistant Principal—emonson@isp.edu.pa ACROSS DIVISIONS: GREEN IN BETWEEN GIN STUDENTS VISIT SECOND GRADERS In the Disney Pixar film Wall-E, the phrase "I don't want to survive, I want to live," is used when the captain of the space ship discovers the planet that was once able to sustain life. The movie takes place in the distant future where Earth is covered in piles of garbage left over from mankind; unfortunately, this scenario is not so unrealistic as we'd like it to be. Green In Between has sought to find ways to fix this particular problem before it occurs by bringing awareness to children as they are the future. On April 12th, our group decided to go and teach second graders about the importance of planting and how it could make a difference in the world. By doing so, we prepared a presentation in which we added the theme of Wall-E in order to make it more interesting. We started off by asking these intelligent second graders questions about the movie and how it relates the real world. We also talked about the difference between fruits and vegetables and how important they are to humankind, animals and our surroundings. We explained how plants, no matter how small, have the power to produce oxygen in which we breathe everyday. Throughout our short lecture, we were able to tell the excitement that the kids had when learning about plants in general. We ended our lecture by teaching them how to plant. We gave one bean seed per two students and together they were able to plant their bean and use their imagination to create a fun name for their plants. Teaching these kids was such an amazing experience as they would always ask all kind of questions. Questions that ranged from "Is coconut a fruit or a vegetable" to "Can we plant the seeds that appear in the watermelon?" It amazes me how they were so intent on learning and their excitement was felt throughout the lecture. I cannot wait to meet up with them and see the progress of the plants in the near future. As a member of the group, I believe that humans make up their own future. In order for us to live our life to the fullest and make the world a better place, we have to take care of our planet. Every little thing makes a big difference and if we all unite and help out, even if it is by planting, we can live. And we wouldn't have to survive.
