Update October 11th!

Hello Everyone,

REMINDERS:
–Read about human rights (like you were this afternoon for research).
–No photo day on Thursday (postponed until October 20th.)
–If you make comments on the blog, use your new username/email given today!

Today we read more about human rights and action. Many of us shared the articles we brought in using the blog. Please see our comments and articles on this page. I encourage you all to read some of the articles your peers brought in.

Several of you found articles about inventions, talking about inventing things that have helped people improve their quality of life. By improving quality of life, we also help improve overall human rights.

This afternoon, you had a chance to begin doing some research. Choose a country and begin to see what kinds of human rights problems are out there on the Amnesty International web page, or at Human Rights Watch World Report. Or, if you like, choose a particular issue, such as child labour, and research it further. Tomorrow, I will give more time in class. This is your opportunity to choose an area of further research that is of interest to YOU.

Thank you for your great work on our Banyan Tree art! We discussed colour theory, including complementary and analogous colours. If you didn’t finish, that is okay, we will have more time again. Quality art is more important than rushing things, and I think the art will make a beautiful addition to our room.

We will have two more sessions of karate focusing on self defence, just like today, as part of our PE program this week. Thank you for your participation in this program!

I hope you have a great evening. Come ready to work tomorrow, as we have lots to do!

Ms. D
