Friendship in the New Year
1/10/2019
This first week back we spent a lot of time catching up (I loved hearing all their stories about winter break) and talking about friendship. It was wonderful to see all our Explores again and watch them reuniting with each other. I am excited about this next semester; I think we will be able to explore our study topics even deeper and continue to expand our learning outside of the classroom. I am so glad to be at PNA where even the Early Childhood Program is fully integrated into the school's vision of creating exceptional learners. To be included in Project Based Learning and standards based report cards allows me, as a teacher, to provide our Explorers with a classroom environment that both prepares them for kindergarten and engages their curiosity and creativity. We are going to have a great rest of the year! Highlights from the Week We spent this week getting back into our routine and talking about friendship. We talked about how to be good friends, how we are all unique, and that our differences help make us better friends. We made a friendship graph where we charted our different heights, hair and eye color, and favorite colors. We were able to talk about how we are the same and different, and all fun friends! This will tie into our Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration later in the month.
To end our discussion, we made "Friendship Fruit Salad." Each student added a different fruit to make one delicious snack. We talked about how the fruits all looked different, but were still fruits. Much like how we are all different, but still all friends. And together we make a beautiful rainbow, just like our fruit salad! Comments are closed.
