Community helpers unit

One of our lines of inquiry is we all living in a community and having roles and responsibilities towards it. Vincezo, came to our classroom to explain to us what he exactly does in our school community. We talked about our own classroom essential agreements and we got to know a bit more our neighborhood (we've done a community map).
We became more general now, by inquiring who really helps us in our community. The traffic Instructor is one. The children have done their own lollipop signs and we went out to practicing crossing the road. It was fun!

Our first unit of inquiry: Helping Hands (Community Helpers). It's all about doctors, police officers, dentists, firefighters and teachers. We've started off by pre-assessing the children's knowledge about this theme (hands wreath). Then we've made a human graph (what do I want to be when I grow graph). After this, the role play took place. They love playing doctors!

Our first weeks of school went on like this...

On the first weeks of school, our children had time to play and talk, and get acquainted and talk, and get familiar with new rules and talk... It was nice to see them talking all the time! They missed each other... Our new members were well welcome and they all already feel very settled in.

A new school year...

Hello everybody!

I am so glad to start a new school year, with new smiling faces. This is the group of children whom I'll be working, learning and having fun with this year!
I am sure together we'll make this a great experience for everyone!
I hope you, parents, enjoy this space and participate vividly on it. It's my present for all of you...
