The Monster Mash!

Hello Grade 4,
Are you ready to do the Monster Mash?

If The World Were A Village...

Good morning Grade 8,

This morning we will be reading David Smith's award-winning book If the World Were a Village.

To make the idea of a world of 6.2 billion people more understandable, Smith suggests that children imagine the population of the world as a village of just 100 people. That's one person representing 62 million people in the real world. If we imagine the world is a village of only 100 people, would it change the way we see one another? Would it change the way we treat one another? Christ tells us to love our neighbours...what about those we don't see every day? As we begin this Advent season, let's imagine our world as a village...how can we reach out and be salt for the Earth?

We had such an interesting discussion on discrimination and racism after watching the documentary A Class Divided. What a powerful lesson for people to learn. It's just too bad there is still a need to have to teach people to empathize with one another and treat people with compassion and respect. Imagine how wonderful our world would be without all the -isms and discrimination...
