I love the end of this quote. "Poor People" are some the most determined and tenacious people around. Look at other countries for example, their resources are limited and they do not have the capital that other countries have. Yet they go out everyday and work hard to provide for their families and they still find time to celebrate all the good in their lives.

List of things kids might have that other would be jealous of?
$$, designer clothes, two parents,  pets,  video games, apple products, electronics

Write about a time someone had something you didn't and you where jealous.
This is a hard thing for me to write about, I have been very fortunate in my up bringing,. I have always had all that I need and have also had a strong personal stance on not really seeing the need to acquire material possessions., so jealousy as far as material items has never really been a thing for me. I can however relate to this on an emotional level. My family has never been very close with my extended family, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. Growing up I had many friends who were always celebrating holidays, birthdays and other special occasions with their entire family. I was often envious of this and never understood until I was older why my family did not spend time together.

Can you be rich in ways that have nothing to do with material possessions?
Absolutely!! You can be rich in your relationships with friends, peers, and family. You can be rich in your knowledge and education. You can be rich in being in good health. You can be rich in connections with your loved ones.You can be rich by having great memories.

Poem about one non-material way I am rich

Oh the Friends I have made along the way
You lift my spirits
You fill my life with laughter
You are always there, in dark and in light
You are my Family

What you could learn about your students from having them draw maps? I really like the video of the map book, showing the all the different types of maps a students made. Having students make a variety of maps will help you to learn where they are from, their likes and dislikes, and how they view the area they live in.

My Maricopa County map shows that I spend most of my time in the East Valley and that I enjoy spending my time there. It reflects that I prefer not to frequent the west side of the valley very often.

Geography plays a role in how government and economics can be impacted. The of location to other countries, land masses, regions (for agricultural purposes), water ways, and location of natural resources play a huge role in political and economical themes.

Geography- The study of how a location impacts people and their environments.

Economics-  The study of how people use their resources and the impact of their decisions.

In the article by Gallagher and Hodges, it discussed allowing students the opportunity to prioritize their "wants" and "needs." This allows you to have an open discussion with your students   and allows for them to think about the choices they would make. This provides a great segue into talking about the economics and teaching children the power of making thoughtful choices when it comes to using our resources.

I really like how the article, A Sense of Place talked about helping build students relationship with the environment and people around them. I feel that is important that students have a sense of belonging within their community, so they can make that connection when learning about other cultures communities.

I feel that my brainstorm and standards were similar. They both show examples of studying political and financial impacts, as well as the study of how to use maps/globes. I had a hard time remembering vocabulary but I had the general idea and feel my brainstorm supports the standards.
