Dear Elementary School Families,
T
his month, we hope you enjoy the Pride with guest authors featuring our very own students. Below is a sampling of learning experiences from our Pride Helpers. We loved hearing about learning at ISK from their perspective and hope you do too.
Enjoy!
Hi, I am Ella W. in 4D
Human Rights Studies in Grade 5
Welcome to ISK, new students- we hope you have an amazing time at ISK and enjoy it. I joined ISK this year, and I got super welcomed. First, I got a buddy in the morning. He was nice and showed me around the campus. After that, the morning recess ended. My teacher introduced me to the class and asked me if I wanted to come up so that the class could ask me ten questions. That was kind of fun. Then we did the work we needed to do. At the next recess, I got a new buddy. She asked me where I wanted to go and play, but I hurt my knee in the morning of that day, so I could not do much, so we just talked. At lunch, my knee got worse, so they took me to the health office and helped me to feel better. At the end of the day, they asked if I wanted to be their friend. Then one of my teachers took me to the bus. That was basically my first day at ISK!
Hi! My name is Chaeyoung. We are learning about Human Rights and Children’s Rights. I’m going to investigate the Right to Education. The reason why I’m investigating Right to Education is that I was surprised that many people didn’t get any chance to have an education, and I thought that “If I was the one who didn’t get the education, what would I do?” But when I saw someone not getting a good education, I felt really bad, and I thought I wanted to learn more about it. I was really curious why many people are not getting an education. We have had many parents come to speak to us about the work they do for Human Rights. I learned a lot, and I think I had a chance to know more about history too. By Chaeyoung C.
