Today we celebrated the birthday of the United Nations.  The actual day is Thursday, October 24th, however, I will not be teaching the grade 6’s that day so today was the party. We played the ‘Continent Game’ out on the playground where it became very evident who knew their world geography.  Reid quickly became the person that the students looked to for the correct answers.  Then we watched a music performance that took place in the General Assembly which you can watch here.  We ate some chocolate cupcakes & started an art project called ‘Many Coloured Hands’.  It was a fun morning and hopefully a good reminder on why the UN is important.  I loved spending the day celebrating with your children!  Enjoy the week!
