The boys had a great week, mostly with Mrs. Mac who filled in during my absence. The class moved full steam ahead in our diversity inquiry, learning about disabilities and how they affect a person's life. On Monday, we will participate in "Disability Day" where the boys will have the opportunity to "try on" 5 different disabilities over the course of the day. This will help them to see the world through a different perspective and respect that disabilities are a part of a diverse community.
Today, our diverCity "Glenboxen" was born. The boys are working in community planning teams to construct an open-minded and diverse community out of little boxes, paper and clay. We will continue to analyse and add to "Glenboxen" to ensure that it is as diverse and open-minded as it can be. All of the boys are contributing their ideas and insights, and it was amazing to watch them in action this afternoon as buildings were erected, roads constructed, parks grown, etc. Stop in to see "Glenboxen" as it grows and develops over the next week and a half. It is a wonderful reflection of their new understandings of the concepts diversity and community.
Our Friday Morning Live presentation is now rescheduled for Friday, October 9. We look forward to sharing with you how diversity "takes shape"!
