Working Together from Home

Hello! We made it to Thursday, nice work 😊

Since we are trying to navigate through these crazy times, what better way to build community in your own home by doing things together?! Today, let's focus on the positives of being together- even though we are very much apart. I think it's safe to say that the impact this is all creating makes us reach for any sense of community and connection. 


Before we left for spring break, the Pine class was working a lot on family and what each of our families look like. We talked about how some have moms and dads, some just have dads, and other families may include grandparents, aunts and uncles. There are so many ways in which we can be a part of a family! The Pine room is its own kind of family. We have a wide range of abilities, ages, and personalities that keep our classroom the fun loving place it truly is. 

How can you build more community in your own home? Maybe it can be as simple as working together on a project, or eating dinner together every night. There is no right way to be a family, but I think in these times its especially important to remember you always have your family- including your school family. 

We, as teachers, have a LOT of love to give. We wish so desperately that we could be sitting in the classroom together creating, laughing, and learning today. 

Stay well & with all of the love,
the Pine teaching team

"We should make it yellow too." "It also needs a telescope (periscope)." Now that the drawing phase was complete, some friends wandered over to then build a submarine out of the blocks. They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
