G1 – Morning Tea of Gratitude

Grade 1 just completed their unit of inquiry with the emphasis on communities. Their central idea was ‘People in communities work together to help each other.’ They spent time learning about the different people in a community and the important roles they play to help others. They also discussed their school community and the importance of each person’s job within that community. As a final action piece for the unit, students invited the Ayi’s and security guards to a morning tea to say thank you for all the work they do to keep our school clean and safe. Students made thank you cards and brought in food to serve. They served juice, tea, and snacks to the ayi’s and security guards.

Students also prepared a reader’s theater play of Stone Soup to perform during the morning tea. Stone Soup is a story that teaches the importance of community and sharing a meal together. It was a wonderful event to build an attitude of gratitude in our students.
