Today, the students did not learn a thing during Carpe Diem.
Why? Because the students did not have school, today. No school = no academy.
However, just because there was no Carpe Diem, doesn't mean
the students did not apply what they have been learning at some point during
their day off.
I am certain that out of 170 students, at least 1 of them
(but I am betting more) did apply something. Perhaps it was.....
- The child
that dribbled a basketball while playing "hoops" with his friends at
the park. Thanks to JumpBunch, he was confident and instead of passing the
ball, he dribbled down the court and made a 3-point shot!
- The child
that helped her grandmother with shaky hands sew a button on a coat. Thanks to
Artist Debbie, she was proud to share her latest hobby of sewing with her
grandmother.
- The child
that chose an apple over a bag of chips. Thanks to Wegmans, he is learning to
make healthy choices.
- The child
that entertained her younger brother and sister with some of the latest dance
moves. Thanks to Spotlight, she refrained from turning on the TV.
- The child
that picked up a book, instead of playing a video game. Thanks to his teachers,
he decoded words and identified the setting and characters.
Do you feel a sense of change? I do!
Carpe Diem!
