JR -- Blogmeister

We are an intermediate classroom in an elementary school in British Columbia, Canada. We use our blogs as a place to practise expressing our ideas in writing (and maybe even sound, pictures & video when we're ready). We try to leave thoughtful comments for classmates & other bloggers we visit. Comments help us critique our ideas and our writing. They also motivate us to do more thinking, writing, sharing & revising. You can leave your thoughts on any particular article by clicking "comment" below it. Comments will be published after I have had a chance to read them.

Vow of Silence Reflection Basically the "Vow of Silence" is when you don't talk for a whole day, so you know what it feels like to be a child in poverty. Poverty is the lack of a certain amount things you need to survive or money.Many of children all over the world are affected by poverty. They are forced to join the army and die.

When I participated in the Vow of Silence I felt like I didn't have the ability to talk out, or I couldn't communicate with my friends. I tried my best to stay silent and not talk the whole day, but it was too hard. I noticed that with the lack of noise I could calculate and find my math answers quicker. My work was similar from other days because I usually don't talk when I calculate and equation. I found it very hard not to talk to my friends and ask for help. I liked the Vow of Silence because, I could concentrate on my work instead of getting distracted by my friends. In several parts of the day I thought of the children that have no political voice, and who can't speak everyday.
