Transdisciplinary Theme: Who We Are
Central idea: Friendship is an important part of a healthy community.
For the formative week the children shared their knowledge on what they know about friendship. In the upcoming weeks, we are going to be learning about how friendship functions in our lives. During the formative week I gathered experiences of friendship that the children have shared.
"I play with everyone. It feels good." Alexia
"Playing with your friends." Kesler
"Including people in your games." Esme
"Being nice to each other." Esme
"Caring for each other." Grace
"Playing with my friends." Angela
"Sharing toys with my friend Grace." Andrea
After reading the story "Friends" by Helme Heine, the children were inspired and the story sparked more discussions about the role friendship plays in our lives.
"We are all different. It's a good different. We don't always need to be the same." Grace
"Friendship matters. Otherwise there would be no friends and everyone would be mad at each other." Esme
"Sometimes friends can't be together, but they are still together in their hearts and they are still friends." Grace
"I like my friends. They make me smile." Kesler
I am looking forward to exploring more about friendship together with the children in the Wind group. Their bright minds and kind souls will help build strong relationships with each other and spread their kindness to everyone in our surroundings.
Enjoy,
Anamaria
