School Bus Safety

This week we did not come to school on Monday due to Labor Day. :) The rest of the week we reviewed our classroom rules that we made and sealed them with our signature and hand print. 

We learned what "Ubuntu"means and that it is like our class family and how we should treat each other as family. Mrs. Ketchum learned this in South Africa and thought it was a wonderful thing to share. 

Ubuntu means class family. We made ourselves and learned
 how we can be a class family. 

We learned all about school bus safety and how we are lucky to have the opportunity to ride the school bus to school if we want to. The students at Emafini Primary in South Africa do not have the opportunity to ride the school bus. They have to walk to school a long way for their education and education is very important to them. 

We also on Friday went on our own safari and brainstormed what we think we would see if we went on a real safari. We also discussed how the animals in South Africa are different than our animals we have here in the North Carolina.
