Students were stressed as finals week approached, studying late into the night and drinking many cups of coffee to stay awake. One student decided to take a break from studying and went for a walk through campus, noticing the beauty in the snow-covered trees and buildings lit with holiday lights which helped relieve some stress and provided a moment of calmness and joy during the busy week. The student returned to studying feeling recharged and better able to focus on preparing for exams, realizing that taking occasional breaks is important to maintain well-being during stressful times.
Family night will be held in Room 8 on Friday, November 16th, 2012. The event is an opportunity for families to spend time together. Activities will include games, crafts, and snacks for parents and children to enjoy bonding over.

The document provides guidance on opening up organizational data through an open data program. It recommends choosing existing data sets to publish, applying an open license, making the data available and discoverable on the web through various technical means, and establishing principles like keeping it simple and engaging stakeholders. The end goal is to organize an "innovative movement" by building networks of developers and innovators around openly published data sets.
The document summarizes the last week of the 2012-2013 school year for Room 8. During the week, the class pretended their space shuttle was flying, visited a zoo they created called The Animal Zoo, played outdoors, had a picnic on their last day, and thanked everyone for a wonderful school year.
Looking back: open data for development campRolf Kleef
Over 127 people attended the two-day Open Data for Development Camp held in May 2011 in Amsterdam. The event saw over 1700 chat messages and 450 emails exchanged during its planning and saw 9 data sets and apps presented, with 6 sets of data released for the first time and 4 applications and APIs built. The Dutch government expressed its commitment to transparency and innovation using open data and there was an aim to increase cooperation between the government and NGOs on these issues through connecting actors and international networking.
The document discusses opening up government data by choosing existing data sets to publish openly, applying an appropriate open license, and making the data available and discoverable by linking to it from websites and open data registries. It provides guidance on applying open licenses, selecting proper data formats, and principles for engaging stakeholders and keeping data sharing efforts simple. The overall goal is to build an open data movement by organizing hackathons and innovation networks and appointing dataset owners.

The families of children in Room 8 attended a family night event on December 7th. Activities included building marble racetracks, watching video clips of children playing, and eating banana bread that the children had made from scratch - one loaf was regular and one had chocolate chips. The children performed two songs for their families - "Razzamatazzama" while dancing, and "The More We Get Together" in both English and American Sign Language. Ms. Bryan and Ms. Henry also shared about their student teaching experiences from the semester.
This document provides information about science and photography activities for students in Room 8. It describes a week-long exploration of water that examines scientific concepts through hands-on experiments with tools, colored ice, soap, and water beads. Another activity explores the transformation of materials like shaving cream, flour and water, oobleck, playdough, and goop. It also details a student photographer project where children take photos each day to document and reflect on their classroom experiences. The photos show themes of relationships, spaces, materials, and routines/lessons. The projects aim to engage students through experiential learning while developing important skills.

The document discusses online collaboration tools and sites that tap into collective wisdom. It provides examples like Map Kibera and Ushahidi that allow crowdsourcing information. It also discusses tools for adversary collaboration like Ushahidi SwiftRiver and WikiSweeper. The document recommends designing collaboration solutions that are simple with loosely connected tools. It advocates for prioritizing purpose, community and process over specific technologies. An effective design focuses on engaging participants and connecting to the real world.

Students from Room 8 visited an ice skating rink on March 22, 2013. Several students drew pictures of themselves skating and included captions describing the ice rink, other people with them, and features like the zamboni and timer lights. The field trip helped both experienced and inexperienced skaters have fun learning a new activity, and the teachers and parents provided support.
