This morning we exchanged our library books and began making math comic strips to illustrate our favourite "ten buddy" facts. After recess we continued with literacy centers and practiced rallying in phys ed. In the afternoon the students continued exploring Peter and the Wolf in music. We learned a social studies song, "My Community" (which the students love to sing while spontaneously all joining arms -- pretty cute!) and reviewed needs and wants, as well as rights and responsibilities. We spent the rest of our afternoon brainstorming everything we would need (and want!) if we were building a community. The students shared their ideas in pictures and words on white boards to contribute to our whole class idea map (pictured above). We are excited to do some more community thinking!
