I participated today and it was really cool since none of my teachers expected me to talk. Sure I had notecards for: yes, no, thanks, can i go to the restroom, and: how do you ________. Sadly at my bff's school she couldn't participate hardly at all. Her teachers constantly harass her to talk normally since she's really quiet and apparently they weren't smart enough to realize what to day is. >I wish my school could do something like that.

It's been so much fun this entire week getting to talk with kids about the week and why they should do the day of silence.
