We all learned about injustices around the world. I was honoured to view their videos. Every video from every student was excellent! I invite all parents to view their child's video during our Student-Led conferences on May 8.
Many students made connections between our in-class social experiment of carrying water in a jug on our heads. We saw many images depicting children carrying not only water, but large rocks or stacks of bricks on their heads. Students gained a new understanding for the hardships many children face in the world.
I hope we can all take a moment on April 18 to be silent for those who's rights are denied. Go to http://www.freethechildren.com/get-involved/campaigns/we-are-silent/ for more information.
