People who are nonviolent are cool. School should be a safe and supportive place. Violence is everyone's problem. Violence should not be accepted or tolerated. Be sure to make sure your child aware when the messages are present, and try to counter negative messages with positive ones.
Students learn to write stories and poems.
The United Arts of Wake County supports the program which provides professional writers who come into the schools for one week and teach students a variety of writing techniques. The teacher for the fourth grade classes was Mr. Shabazz. When he comes into a class he plays games dealing with poetry. He also teaches students how to write and identify different types of poetry. Some types include, the Name Poem and the Japenese Haiku.
