Our class has been enjoying our BIG buddy time on Thursdays where we work on the Core Competencies. It is so wonderful to see the older students leading the way and supporting our younger learners. Last week we worked on Social Responsibility. After reading The Smallest Girl In The Smallest Class by Justin Roberts. The students discussed how they could make a positive difference in the world. With their buddies, while tasting wonderful brussel sprouts from the community garden, students worked on creating their own Social Responsibility board game.  Some of the ideas generated from the students were:

-you threw garbage on the ground …..go back three spaces

-you helped a person on the playground that you didn’t even know….go forward two spaces

-you always recycle….go forward five spaces.
