Back to reality! – Savanna 8/18-8/22

We are very happy to be back! ๐ŸŒธ

We hope everyone had a wonderful Obon Holiday! The children returned to school full of stories and excitement. Some proudly shared how they bonded with their grandparents, others told us about their family trips and even which hotels they stayed at, while some happily shared how they relaxed at home and enjoyed time with their family. No matter what they did, one thing was clearโ€”the break gave them joy and precious family moments! ๐Ÿ’•

During our first week back, we also had an earthquake drill during naptime. This became a meaningful experience for the children as they were able to practice what to do during an emergency and reflect on how it feels. We were proud to see them respond calmly and responsibly.

Our Unit of Inquiry is now progressing to the next stage. We have completed Line of Inquiry 1: Community Helpers and their jobs. Now we are delving into Line of Inquiry 2: The reasons why people help others in the community.

To launch this, we used a provocationโ€”a short story about a lion who received help from a little mouse. After watching, the children reflected and shared their thoughts. We asked: What happened in the story? What could have happened if the mouse hadnโ€™t helped the lion? Their responses were thoughtful and caring:

  • โ€œI think the mouse helped the lion because he was in pain.โ€
  • โ€œI think the lion would be sad if the mouse didnโ€™t help him.โ€

We will continue to inquire more deeply into why people help each other in the community and encourage students to make connections between the story and their own lives.
