2-3 Grade Term 4 Seasonal Topic Providing for Pollinators: This term we completed 3 spring adventure cycles to emphasize trust building from put ups and put downs, hidden agendas, active listening, mixing and perspective taking into highlighting making mistakes, empathy, trustworthiness, risk taking, physical vs emotional trust. The theme for 2nd/3rd grade is “Changes Inside and Around Me”. The activities were designed to emphasize creating a community, cooperation, communication and conflict resolution. Students know this behavior as “Playing Kind”, “Playing Gentle” and “Playing Safe” (2nd Grade) and “Play Hard”, “Play Fair” and “Play Safe” (3rd Grade). We continued practicing and using different senses ranging from the “fox walk” to “standing heron” and from “Owl eye” and “Deer ears”. Students got to choose which of the 5 labs/exploratory centers (Imagine, Explore, Research, Engineer, Create) to investigate and learned different skills in each one. For example, students continued to develop listening, acting and story-telling skills through the learning protocol “Story Telling Story Acting” by Dr. Vivian Paley.
