What should we name our canoes?
Thanks for all of your great suggestions yesterday. We thought we'd give you one more day to think this one over. We'll be back tomorrow with the top six for you to vote on. Our boats will be given their new names on Monday!
It was brought to our attention that our canoes do not have names. We will leave the naming of our three canoes up to you! Here is some information about the canoes. . . the longest canoe is dark green and 18 feet long. The mid-sized canoe is a lighter green and 17 feet long. The smallest canoe is kind of maroon and 16 feet long. They are all made out of plastic.
For today's Daily Dilemma, please tell us your suggestions. Then, the expedition team will narrow the choices down. In tomorrow's Daily Dilemma, we will have you vote on your all-time favorites. The three most popular names will be the winners.
Answer to yesterday's dilemma:
Most students think that voting should not be mandatory. Many classrooms are wondering what happens in Brazil if you do not vote. Tony explained that if you do not vote you have to pay a small fine and it makes it hard to get loans and official documents from the government. He is not sure how much the fine is because he always votes!

i think you should name the smallest canoe red robin.because robins are small and are a maroon color. i think you should name the mid sized one wally, for walrus because walruses have an ivory light green tusks and walruses are mid sized. and the longest one ... i think you should name it green ranger. because park rangers are in forests with dark colored pine trees.

I think the first one should be GARNY since it is green and 18 feet and the second one be GINNY since it is light green and the third one be MANNY because it is maroon color.

I think you should name the smallest canoe little Red riding hood or little red because the color of the canoe is maroon. I think the mid size canoe should be named Green Apple Because some apples are green. I think you should name the biggest canoe Amazon Because you are in the Amazon and you will always remember the Amazon.

My class thinks that you should name the 18-footer Billy, the 17-footer Ripe Banana, and the 16-footer Midnight Maroon.
(My top pick wasn't selected, which was The Green Monster.)
