Through The Ages

In room seven we have been discussing family histories. We have worked on our questioning and listening skills and have had some interesting discussions. The children have questioned their parents and grandparents about where they are from and about what life was like for them as children. This information they have brought back to school and shared with the class. They have gotten excited about learning this new information and have questioneed me on my history and that of my parents.
We have also worked on them looking at their themselves and building an understanding of their own personalities and what makes them special. The children have choosen a person, parent grandparent, friend extra who is a treasure to them. We have discussed and written about these people and why they are special. As far as our development through the solo taxonomy the class is generally at the unistructural stage.
