Video Games

Hi RW2B!  and my mom (Toni)!

This week we started Unit 6: Serious Fun.  This unit gives information about playing traditional games and video games.  I am curious to know what you think about children playing video games.  It is more common to find children playing video games, rather than playing board games, cards, or sports.  What is your opinion about video games?  Are they good for children to play?  bad?  and WHY????

Culture and Etiquette

Sometimes people from one culture think that people from another culture are rude.  In reality, they are just following different rules of etiquette.  Compare two cultures you know that are very different.  What rules might help people in these two cultures get along?
