Connecting Communities

Did you know there are more kids that attend the in our afternoon session? It's true! Unfortunately, our AM kids do not have a chance to meet these awesome PM kids, but that still doesn't mean we cannot make an attempt to bridge the two communities! Today, we are attempting to do just that. 

Community building is such an important part of our larger community of Ambrose and our even bigger Webster community! So how can we do it? How can we start with our little Pine class? The forest is one place that both classes thoroughly enjoy so we figured this would be a great place to try. 

Our start to our community building is through a simple game of hide and find. N & L worked on painting rocks bright  beautiful colors that they then hid around the forest! 

N took the lead and showed L how to spread the paint all over the rocks and making sure to cover every square inch. Once they were covered, the boys ran off to play while they sat and dried. 

Before we left, however, L took part in hiding these rocks for our PM class! 

He chose some super secret spots around the forest. This might be really tricky! 

This is just the beginning of how we will bridge the two classes together. I find it important to make our class feel more like a school family that works together, take care of one another, and plays together. We can't wait to see if the afternoon class can find them!
