W h e n I was yo u n g e r i h a d t h i s n i g h t l i g h t . . .It was in the shape of a tea kettle. I remember laying in my

bed every night watching the warm, yellow glow before I fell

asleep. Something about that night light intigued me because I

would find myself bringing my other toys to that corner to play.

With biking booming across the world, storage

facilities are becoming essential.

W h y ca r e a b o u t b i k e s ?


Why is it so difficult to park bikes?

People want to feel safe knowing their bike is okay where they left it.

A cluster of overcrowding

bikes at one parking spot.

Very poor lighting when

parking your bike at night.

Bike theft is prevalent.

Due to classrooms increasing in size, teachers are unable to keep track of how

each student is progressing. Also, they must take into account that students have

different learning capabilities and some may not understand the lesson like the

majority of the class.

Students read and use context

clues to help them understand

the meaning of what they're reading.


Participate in any of the activities and work together to complete it. When

kids are engaged in active reading they are able to

retain the information better.
