Every year, the Early Learning Division chooses a an over-arching concept through which we view the curriculum. This year (and last) we are using "Interactions" as our concept. We talk about how we interact as a family, a class and a school. We also use this "lens" to talk about other types of interactions. This trimester we are learning about transportation when we get together with the kindergarten and first grade classes. We are exploring different types of transportation and how transportation affects our community. This past week the kids were designing a mode of transportation that could use two different ways of moving. Some children made vehicles that went in the water and on the ground, others drew vehicles that went on the ground and in the air. We are working toward an understanding of how different types of vehicles function and what their uses are and why we need them. Check out these interview from some of our Ladybugs about their vehicles.
