Nine Christmases ago my mom received a kidney and my dad gave one away. They were a part of a 26-member organ
transplant chain. Thirteen people gave
away organs in the morning. Those organs
were transported across America in different directions. Thirteen people received those organs in the
afternoon. The organ-chain donation
process could be replaced by 3D organ printing (with your own DNA) in the
future. ARTICLE

If you are curious about 3D technology and would like to learn more about introducing your students to these amazing ideas, just email me (melissaculver@cusd.com).
Digital Citizenship. Please remember that all components of our Digital Citizenship Requirements should be met on or before December 20. Your site administrator has formed a plan so that you notify him/her when you have completed your part (grade level lead, email, Google Form, etc.). If you need help with this, please email me ASAP. It is hard to help you navigate that on December 18. The three lessons you need can be found HERE.
