The Group Plan

Today as part of our Social Studies lesson, we read a book called, The Group Plan.  

The book helps to remind us that we are all part of a group - our kindergarten class!  When we are all thinking about the same thing and doing the same thing, we have a group plan.  We talk about the group plan as a way to help students know what is expected and what to do as part of the group.  When we follow the group plan we work well together.  When we all have different plans, things don't turn out as well.  After reading the story, we worked in small groups to build a structure as large as we could.  We had to really work hard to make sure we were following a group plan to create one shared structure, rather than individual plans.  

Finally, we talked about how our class bus moves forward when we all work together and follow our class's group plan.  We celebrated how well our class worked together by moving our bus to it's ending spot at the school, earning our popsicle party!  We really enjoyed our juice pops to end the day!
