Today we built our community buildings in shifts as we end our current planner "Working 9 to 5." Funny thing...the children led the activity in a totally different direction than I was planning! On their own, they internalized what the central theme was...people with different jobs work together to organize a community. So in the end, the kids paired up in their own groups and did their own thing very peacefully...not making the neat little communities I had envisioned. We had a visitor in the room during much of their work time and our class was complemented on how well the kids worked together, they respected each others ideas and felt a wonderful sense of community. Well done, guys!
Happy birthday Elizabeth. Have a great weekend!
