This week we brainstormed ideas based on the past six weeks of inquiry, discussions and books we've read.
* What is generous and what is not generous?
The children drew a picture that represented generous things that are important to them and one picture of something that is not generous.
We will have a potlatch tomorrow, where there will be speeches on what generosity is and the importance of it, dancing, food and presents. (Def. "Potlatch" = is a gift - giving feast practiced by indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast and the United States)
Thoughtfully, the wind group children made presents for the children in the water group. They all thought of the colours that each child in the water group likes and from there, they came up with the present that they made.
Here is the list of presents:
For Sophie - beads (Kesler "Sophie likes a lot of colours")
Theo - craft supplies(Grace "because he always likes to draw”)
Olympia - butterfly
Sasha - a lemon and a yellow butterfly
(Kesler "Sasha's favourite colours is yellow")
Charlie - lady bug (Esme "Charlie's favourite colour is red")
Jayla - blue chest (box) (Grace "I play with Jayla all the time and I know that she would like a blue chest to put all her things in")
Lucas - marble (Alexia "Lucas likes to play with the marbles")
Apple cookies will be served at the potlatch. The children spread the peanut butter and sprinkled mini chocolate chips and granola to help prepare them.
Esme "Yummy. They look so delicious."
