Community Review

Hello,

For the month of November and December we talked about how to be positive member within our community.  I did this lesson from grade 1-8 and having the grade 7/8’s demonstrating leadership with volunteering their time with different activities within and out of the school.  We started the lesson with creating mini houses with having four to five points stating how they can be a positive member within their community.  Some of these points included from grad 1-8

-        No littering

-        Being respectful to others.

-        Standing by someone who is being bullied.

-        Opening the door for someone.

-        Playing with friends.

-        Helping friends and family.

During the month of November, the students ran a volleyball tournament with myself.  They ended up score keeping, running the canteen and setting up the gymnasium.  This was a huge success in our school seeing this was this was the first time since I’ve been at the school that we have tried to run and organize something like this.  The students did an amazing job on giving up 6-8 hours of their own time.

During the month of December, the students ran in-motion with minute to win it.  Each grade would come during in motion time and they would get 1 minute to stack as many pencils as they can.  We had a group of grade 7/8’s designated to each day of the week to help get this organized. This will continue over the month of January and February.

 The students also organized Christmas hampers that the school gives out to families in our community that is need.  They had to put food and presents into gift bags.  They also went to Dove House and helped out with the elderly.  They played games and did Christmas art activities
