All school Meeting

Yesterday, Monday, an all school meeting was held to discuss and vote on two matters. The first was a proposal brought to the meeting by two students from 3, 4, 5, and stated that the middle schoolers who visit the 3, 4, 5 classrooms must know the lunch rules, and must stay in the classroom for all of lunch. It didn't pass though, with 60 to 70 votes. The second proposal was brought by teachers, and voiced by Ken. The idea was to form a constitutional convention every Friday to discuss the rules of Trillium. The idea was that there would be 16 student in all, 4 from each class. The proposal passed by a landslide.
Today our class had a visit from Joan, who talked about the Chinese gardens, which we will be visiting Friday. She showed us a slide show about Chinese culture, our sister city Suzhou, the Chinese gardens, and the balance between ying and yang. We learned that once you know what to look for, you find ying and yang throughout the Chinese gardens. Everyone learned a considerable amount, and is eager to go to the garden in person on Friday.
Everyone was overjoyed to see that we finally have a coffee/tea/hot chocolate station installed, and Nick was nice enough to make everyone hot chocolate while we were listening to the presentation.
Thats all for now folks!
