Vow of Silence

Students today brainstormed and then categorized ideas for planning and organizing the Vow of Silence their first initiative on Friday November 20th. To view / read the chart, simply click on the image and it will appear fullscreen in a new window. Groups are to focus on their assigned category to research and develop a newsletter to inform and promote Vow of Silence within the school community.

    How long Suggestions???
    Junior=I think should go to 3:00
    Primary=11:00?????
    So the primary can get ready for lunch verbally.
    BTC committee=24 hrs
    I think it should be a choice for all students to not talk at recess or not. But they will be highly encouraged to not talk.
    Thank you Leo C. for making the chart!!!! Adeline

    Adeline has mentioned some really good points - most especially around the issue of choice. A right and privilege we have that is not experienced by many children around the world. Some of the time suggestions made are a good start as we need to be aware that the Primary and Junior students will most likely have different goals on how long to run their Vow of Silence. I too would like to thank Leo for putting together the mind map to ideas brainstormed during today's Committee meeting. Well done everyone! Ms. Tavares

    You guys made some very good ideas. We should encourage everyone to go as long as they can. 11 for primary students and 3ish for junior students sounds awsome:) I think some people should start thinking about annoucments and just in general the Vow of Silence.

    These are really great comments going on here! I think the primary students should have at least make it through until lunch do you agree? We should also give the junior students a break during lunch time and let them talk for a while then they're back to being silent. During morning recess it could be the teachers' decision if they want them to go outside or not.
