Students have been working for a few weeks now trying to understand first the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and then more specifically the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We had discussions about how certain groups of people need special protection–that the UDHR is not enough. We talked specifically about refugees and children needing extra support.  We enjoyed working on our quilt squares depicting a right of the child. Students worked with someone from the other 4th/5th grade class to cut and glue fabric pieces to represent one of the rights in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
