Building a sense of community is important and challenging work in the beginning days of school. (We've been in school 14 days, by the way. We've been keeping track so that you don't need to).
One way that we've been doing this is through morning Show & Share. Students have been bringing special objects from home to show their classmates. We've been learning so much about each other!
This activity has also given us the opportunity to practice:
-using strong sharing voices
-actively listening
-forming questions sentences
-following agreed upon rules for discussion
We still have a lot of work to do but, we're certainly well on our way.
Many thanks for letting your students bring these special items into school.
Have a wonderful weekend!
