Unique Cont... (KB)

Continuing with our unique theme, we took some time this morning to discuss how the things we like is another way we are unique. After reading the book, "Odd Velvet", we chatted about the variety of things each of us like. It was a lively discussion as we found some of our friends enjoyed very "unique" things. We decided to create class books as a way to share some of our favourite things. Using magazines, flyers and their artistic abilities, the Kiddos went to work creating a "my favourite things" page.

This afternoon,  we spent some discussing how our families make us unique. We talked about the ways that families can be different (or unique), and then the Kiddos had the opportunity to share their family photo with the class in a talking circle and tell us all about who is in their family. They were then given the opportunity to walk around and chat with each other about their families. The Kiddos were so excited to share the special people in their lives and we all learned a lot about each other! We read a book after about siblings, grandparents, and relatives that live near and far. It was interesting to hear the conversations taking place as the Kiddos shared their connections to the book. By the end of the day, it was pretty obvious we all have amazing and unique families!
