Friday’s Vow Of Silence In Support Of Children’s Rights

On Friday Nov 19, 2010 we are taking the Vow of Silence with others around the world to stand up for children who do not have their basic rights met and as a result may not survive or may not grow to reach their full potential.   I am so proud of those of you taking this stand with me.

Here is our day plan:

8:36 – Child’s Rights Videos and reflections – Lead by Mr. Lister

9:10 – Journals – reflect on how it feels to be silent at school

9:30 – choose a ‘child’s right’ issue to research using research links on blog under the heading Children’s Rights Awareness

10:15 – Silent Recess

10:30 – Art – Child’s Right Poster

– When you are finished – play Vow of Silence games on the blog under the heading Educational Games

12:00 – Silent Lunch

12:45 – Video – Ruby Bridges

2:30 – Dismissal

Things you could do that are silent:

1. Listen to a book at the Living Library

2. Read a book

3. Research history of child rights or a specific issue that interests you

4. What ideas can you come up with?

Please honour your classmates on Friday by respecting their silence!
