Types of Government Around The World

Hey kids,
  You have been investigating about different roles of leadership in different countries around the world so I know you have acquired a broader vocabulary related to government.... take a minute to review... Do you have others to investigate?
Have fun learning!

Do all leaders who have power in government protect human rights or inhibit?

Hey kids,
 You have begun to analyze whether world leaders use their power for good or bad in relation to human rights. Some of you have discovered that leaders do good....work for charity, insist on education for all, while, on the other hand, some leaders infringe on basic human rights in many ways. We have read about discrimination of gender, race, torture, capital punishment,  people go ¨missing¨ and even censorship (freedom of expression/speech and freedom of the press.)  
  While all of these things are horrific, please take a moment to think & reflect on the freedom of the press, freedom of expression and speech.. . We spoke about censorship today... do you think this may be a rights violation?? What dangers or consequences could occur with censorship??

Do you have any idea of what this image is trying to say?

What message is being shared here?

Please think carefully and share your ideas in class!

Do we have the right to speak about or criticize any of our leaders?  Do you know of any people around the world that may not have this right due to censorship or other rights violations?  Talk to your family about this.

Precious Memories...

Hi there mom & dad, family & friends,

 I send you a very belated trip down memory lane... our 4A class trip to Los Pellines.
  
First, I sincerely apologize for the delay in getting these beautiful memories published. We have had a technical challenges which is a work in progress... The school will publish all official photos on the school main page (4A-4B & 4C)  next week. 

Secondly, I want  thank each one of you for being brave enough to allow your children to experience a few days away from your arms to enjoy clean air, all things in nature and to test their personal limits. 
I felt privileged to been present! I saw something quite beautiful in each student.  Some kids simply blossomed in nature! Many were out of their comfort zone but thanks to our wonderful guides and the freedom to just enjoy and learn (life without demand, no watch, phone, computer, TV, It was TOTAL DISCONNECTION!)... it was possible!

Finally, 
*Please remember your kids can live and grow without TV, phone, computer... 
*Give them a chance to explore without distraction and influence. 
*They can be so wonderfully unique!
*Life is beautiful! 

I thank you for the chance to see your kids grow!

If you have any questions or comments feel free to get in touch :)

Sincerely,

 Miss Noelle
