The Many Colors of Community
1 East kicked off first grade with a big emphasis on community and friendship. The throughlines have been, “What is a good community member and how does it relate to me at Live Oak?” “What is friendship?” and “How do I make new friends and keep old ones?” Through these lenses, we’ve read a plethora of literature such as All Are Welcome, Do Onto Otters, Stick and Stone, Be Kind and much more!
By using these characters and lessons in the stories, we have been applying them to our everyday lives through classroom scavenger hunts of finding similarities and differences between us, building friendship towers, and through roleplay with scenarios! What we’re learning is that our community and the friendships in our class represent many colors! In the story, Adventures of Beekle The Unimaginary Friend, the illustrations clue us into the possibility of friendship as it contrasts dark hues of black and gray to that of a rainbow of beauty! These throughlines will be ever present in first grade as we’ll continually come back to these themes throughout the school year!
