Work on Work Days
The school has certain things that we do school-wide
that are supposed to be fulfilled by the whole school. This is something that I
believe can help a school bond and become close. I think it is important to set
goals for a school year so that students can achieve personally and together.
At
our school we have a day that we get to work on work. Once a month we have a
day that Mr. Sargant talks to us in the morning at a school assembly about the
school year and what he expects of us. This is, I believe, important because
students get to know what is expected of them so they have no excuse to not do
it. Mr. Sargant also shows us how we did on national and/or state-wide testing
and show us if we made our goals and what we could work on. I think that is
important as a school so that we can work harder and be proud of what we
accomplished.
Then we get a chance to go to our advisories
and learn more about our school goals which are: Demonstrate Integrity, Achieve
Excellence, Work Hard, Gain Respect, and Share Responsibility. MBI has put
these together, and our school and students are expected to show these
attributes. I think that it is important that every goal is explained so that
we students know what they mean and how we can accomplish them, personally and
school-wide.
After
advisory each class gets a part of the school to clean up. I think this shows
the Share Responsibility part of our goals. If every student works hard on
their part of the school our school will be a cleaner and better place. I think
doing this makes each kid and class responsible. If one class does not do it,
then the school knows what class needs to work on Sharing Responsibility.
Once
the school is cleaned up we have time to work on missing assignments or just
homework that we would like to get done. If you are done with all your homework
and missing assignments, then you can hang out and have fun in the gym. I think
this is an excellent idea and I am glad that each student has to show that his
or her stuff is done before he or she can relax and hang out. I think this
helps students be responsible of their work and, in the end, will help grades
and save time and energy for teachers.
The
Work on Work days are something that we do once a month as a school. I think
these days are successful and worth it. The school gets to work together and we
get to get out of school early. I think it is nice to have time to catch up on
work or save yourself from going home and doing homework. These days are
important and I am glad we do them.
