Humidity was high in the building, but our spirits were even higher. Everyone was happy to return to Grade 2, and even happier to think, discover, learn, and test their knowledge and skills.
Today, we discussed asking the question, "WHY?" Based on a piece of writing by Anne Franke, the students listened to a reader share Anne Franke's thoughts about asking the question why to others and to yourself. Students discovered that when they want to know why something is and they ask themselves why instead of someone else, they think and they become a little smarter. Their own ideas are just as valuable as everyone else's. The size and age of the person is not important because everyone has a conscience that he or she uses. They are learning the value of their own selves and being offered another chance to express themselves.

Shalom
