Building together

How We Organize Ourselves
Central Idea: The work people perform helps build community
Line of Inquiry: The jobs people do in our community support its development
Teacher questions: What is community? 
           What are some jobs done in the community and how do they make a difference.


The children have an understanding that there are jobs in the community such as construction workers, gardeners, fire fighters, teachers, cleaning jobs, veterinarian, doctors, police men, Ice cream man, Librarian, and Garbage collectors. Being inquirers, the children chose a job that is done in our community and each week we will pretend play it to see what it takes to do that job.

For IB profile word group time the children were split into 4 different groups.
Monday group – Natalya, Hao Hao, Isaak, Simon, Aston, Enxin, Aiden, Nicki
Tuesday group – Simone, Judy, Olivia, Rocco, Becky, Victoria, Byron, Peter
Wednesday group –  Adyson, Orin, Lucas, Yuha, Patterson,Leighton, Emilie, Pauline
Thursday group – Owen, Jack, Chloe, Serena, Julia, Cameron, Sarah, Kai
Every day the specific group for that day comes up with some ideas and inquiries and every week we will explore it.
