  1. Inquiry Around the Theme: Rivers / Oceans / Water KBIP at 68thStreet School

  2. 6th Grade Academy Seeks Information • Our 6th Grade Academy is excited to participate in gathering information about rivers, oceans, and water. We will be attempting to solve problems and sharing our findings with people from around the world. We will share science, poems, stories, history, culture, art, and more! There is no limit to what you can do with the theme: Rivers / Oceans / Water.

  3. The Los Angeles River

  4. Our river is in an aqueduct. It shows signs of being a city river; with graffiti, train tracks, and running within a cement barrier.

  5. Are you wondering what they are all looking at?

  6. We gather in the computer lab to listen and to share information. Ms. Doram Mr. Avila Dr. Beery Mr. Taylor Ms. Anderson Ms. Elrington

  7. The Poetry Contest 68th Street Sixth Grade Academy students were invited to participate in a poetry contest by writing poems in any style about the theme: Rivers / Oceans / Water. Students were able to enter as many poems as they wanted to write (up to 100 poems) to win. Dr. Beery joined the students and Ms. Anderson at the Lincoln Heights Station to honor the winners.

  15. Denisha, Arthur, Oluwa, and Joseph even did a little digging. (Click Again)

  16. And we have only just begun.

  17. We’re developing creative ways to share our research: The students who were extremely dedicated to the project returned for two days during their vacation to review research, share notes, and create a broadcast together. Using information from the original research teams that all students participated in during class, these hard workers used skills and imagination to create scripts for a television type broadcast to share the knowledge. Research, writing, and prop construction credit is due to Kevin Alonso, Shantal Montana, OluwaseunAwosanya, Dayana Jimenez, DenishaCheathum, and Angel Baez who were not able to be present to film the broadcasts, but helped to prepare the stage.

  18. Wait! Here’s a special broadcast from What’s New With Rivers and Oceans by Savannah Isidro with special guest, Maileen Alejandro.

  19. Another take on some problems with water supply in Pollution Around the World by VivianaGavinoand Ana Huerta.

  20. Today’s broadcast of What’s New With Rivers and Oceans focuses on ocean pollution , by Melissa Lopez with special guests, Estela Gonzalez and Jocelyn Ramos.

  21. We have a lot to learn about the Los Angeles River and how Mulholland made the aqueduct that brought enough water to allow our city to grow.

  22. And we have a lot to learn from our new friends in Spain, Hong Kong, Mexico, Singapore, Canada, Brazil, Colombia, and other cities in the United States of America. Good-bye for now from Los Angeles. See you soon.
