We observed, drew and discussed "who does the forest care for?"
Owls, the overwhelming answer is owls. The forest gives the owls a home, keeps them warm, and make them a place to live.
I wonder, are there any other living things that the forest cares for?
Trees! "When we leave the forest the trees are lonely, but the trees take care of each other like a community." SyS
And we cannot forget about Christmas trees, the forests give us all types of trees. EH was so excited to tell us all about how her Christmas tree began growing in a forest full of other Christmas trees. Then they left to make people feel happy.
It was a HUGE challenge to build a structure together. HW had a vision, he knew exactly what construction truck he wanted to build. After listening to so many ideas, the whole table was able to agree on what to build. HW took the lead and helped his friends build a strong crane! It was tough to wait, it was tough to listen, it was tough to take turns. AND we did it. We built a colorful structure by taking turns, sharing, and working together.
What words feel kind?
LT you sat down and began spelling your name...and then your friend's names. I can tell you are thinking about your friends and playing together.
What kind words can you say to a friend?
"I love you!" LT
Those are some of the kindest words we can say to someone.
We were having a tricky time figuring out what letters we needed to spell such an important word. What can we do?
"Write it down!" LT
We thought about words we like to hear.
We thought about words that make us smile.
We thought about words that make OTHERS smile.
Kindness is all around us.
It is in our community.
It is in our classroom
It is in US!
