Our class has been learning about ourselves, our families, and our community.
We have started to think about the roles we play within those relationships and
the rights and responsibilities we have to ourselves and to each other.

We decided that “rights” are the things that we all deserve, need, should have
and are fair for everyone to expect.

● I have the right to love my dad and mom.
● I have the right to breathe clean air.
