![]() Our school question this year is: How Are We Connected? Throughout the year we will be talking about how each person in our Edgemont school community is connected to each other. No matter our age, our work in the school, or our abilities we are all connected to each other. We will also be asking this question to understand how the Edgemont school community is connected to our city, province, and country, as well as living and non-living things. In Room 5 we started thinking about how we are all connected by asking the question, what do we have in common? We each made a list of the things that we liked. After we finished our lists, we talked with other students and documented our common interests. Each student took this information and wrote it on a two-sided arrow, adding information such as, "we both like reading", or "we both like bicycle riding." After our two-sided arrows were completed, we attached them to a bulletin board. With the name of each student on green paper around the bulletin board, we used string to connect two names together, then added the arrows on the string pointing to each child. These arrows tell the observer what these two people have in common. As you can see from the picture below, we were able to identify many things that we have in common. We encourage you to talk about what you have in common with the people in your home, including students in our class. When we share what we like with each other, we will understand each other and feel more connected. Happy sharing! Comments are closed.
