The fifth grade......at Laketon Elementary.......will not talk.
I read this aloud to all of my children (17-3) and marvelled at what we learned about communication: verbal and nonverbal. We cheered for the students, we were angry at the principle, and I have to admit that I almost cried when Dave yelled, "You have the right to be silent!" and my heart was touched when the entire student body recited the pledge of allegience. This is book is a must read...and a must discuss.
Could we conserve our words?
Is singing talking?
Do we spend enough time thinking? listening?
How does silence feel?
These are some questions we talked about. I highly recommend that families read this book. I am not going to say anymore.
