This week in Grade 1 we used Art to think about sharing limited resources. Students decided what resources they would need to paint a picture related to their unit on Sharing the Planet. We prepared these resources but with only one color per paint tray. The tables came one by one to choose what resources they needed and quickly realized that the first table had taken all of the resources so they would have to make a plan and rethink how they used the resources.
After, they were able to paint sharing those resources, and then they reflected on how others' use or misuse of those resources affects everyone.
We also were so fortunate to have Mrs. Josie Qian (Grade 2 Lingyi's mom), an environmental engineer, share her time and expertise on green energy with us.
Students learned about brown energy vs. green energy and got hands-on experience with solar and wind energy. It was super engaging and fun!
We are very excited to be preparing to share our learning with you in our student-led conferences next week!
