The Hive: Democracy in action

On Friday afternoons at 1:00, you will find the students at the Inside Outside School gathering in the library for the Hive.  Over the course of the week, students add things to the agenda that they wish to introduce to the community.

Looking over the Hive notes for this semester I made a list of things that have been discussed, debated, and/or decided:
How did the survival skill class's shelter get destroyed?
Where do we put boots and shoes?
People are walking into the kitchen after the inside spaces clan just mopped.
Can we have a pet day? Can we have book character day?  Can we have opposite day/pj day/Pokémon card day?
Talking vs. Gossip
The trials and tribulations of Capture the Flag: people use decoy flags, people pretend they don't know where the jail is and wander around really looking for the flag.  People give away the hiding spot by looking where it was hidden.
Which side of the compost is the active side and which is not?
Do we have a disaster plan?
Bragging
People don't flush/clean off the seat if you sprinkle.
Sharing lipstick
"Stop" means "Stop"
Lola (the parakeet) got popcorn.
Trash is being left on the porch after snack and lunch.
Is it ok to catch lizards, frogs and dragonflies?
throwing sticky weed
bringing stuff from home that gets broken
If you share your food who throws away the trash?
Here is what is on the board so far for this week...

I hope you enjoyed your glimpse into our Hive. You may have noticed that our Dimension of Human Greatness is posted on the Hive agenda each week.   I will end with a quote I wrote down in our Hive notes recently from Molly.  The dimension that week was "Identity."  "You always have identity even if you are not talking about it."

    Deborah: I believe children need to have more time in the great outdoors and no time bubbling in answer sheets to prepare for standardized tests. 
     
    Students:  posting happenings and other interesting stuff.
