After listing what we felt gratitude for, we sorted our ideas into 2 categories -WANTS and NEEDS. This was a helpful on many levels with a rich conversation as the children starting realizing there was a difference. So many these days focus on material items like toys, games etc. that we loose sight of the basics we take for granted- heat, homes, family and service. This lesson ( that needs to be a daily point of focus in our homes and school ) also helps room 15 students when we share our daily positives to start our day to move from games and toys to experiences, kind acts , help we gave or received and events. This lesson also opened the door to noticing we each have different wants & needs and that there is a diverse world where our basic needs like a home is shared by all but not always met. |
