Bulletin Boards - Second Quarter
Outside our classroom is our bulletin boards where 1C and 1N can share their learning. The boards highlight a theme/topic that covered in class.
Our theme for the second quarter was based on UN Week that we had at school. In Grade 1 week focused on looking at the 'Rights of the Child'. Each student had to pick which Right of the Child (food, water, shelter, family, school) that they thought was most important. They made a small poster which shared their ideas, and they drew a picture to illustrate their choice. All of their interpretations are celebrated on the walls outside our class.
Students also worked on a writing activity about the Rights of the Child. They wrote out sentences about the things they need (food, water, shelter, family, school) to survive and how lucky they are to have all of these things.
If you did not get to see the art work and writing samples in person during GBS Parent-Teacher Conferences - then please take a look at the photos below. The boards will be changing after the winter break.

Word of the Month - RESPECT
Our word of the month for November is RESPECT.
As a class, we brainstormed the answers to 'What is Respect?', 'How can I be respectful at school?' and 'How can I show respect to others?' Below are some of the ideas that the students came up with.
To practice at home: Ask your child to tell you the ways that they can show respect.
