cancer research

I think that there can be positive research for children and families when given the right research. I looked up research that people are doing for children's cancer and found this news on www.chop.edu . http://www.chop.edu/service/oncology/pediatric-cancer-research/crizotinib-targets-alk-driven-pediatric-cancers.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_keyword=%2Bchild%20%2Bcancer%20%2Bresearch&utm_campaign=CHOP+-+Oncology+-+US+-+Treatments&gclid=CJ7nwrXH7LoCFU7xOgodIDsAhA

This article talks about how they have found that "A phase 1 clinical trial of the drug crizotinib achieved remissions, with minimal side effects, for 10 of the children participating in a clinical study carried out by the multicenter Children’s Oncology Group (COG). " They are also trying to learn about the gene that causes cancer and try and get rid of it all together.

I think that this kind of research that will help people in the long run is definitly worth getting children and families involved. I dont know anyone that would say no to a research project if there was any hope for their child to live and defeat their cancer.

topic

The topic I choose is How do we as Teachers make the children from other countries feel as part of the classroom? I chose this because I think children from all countries should feel welcomed into the classroom and sometimes I find that some families don't feel as welcomed into schools because of their ethnicity. I also think it would be very educational for the other kids in the class to learn about other countries and ways that other people do things.
