We begin the year reading a book together about teamwork from a book titled The Group Plan from the series The Incredible Flexible You curriculum. This book with its' clear pictures and text teaches the difference between a group plan and our own plan. Basically, when one person from the group followed their own plan the group could not accomplish their goal. | Once we completed the book we built a GO chart what others would see or hear if they walked into a room where children were working in teams with a group plan. The teachers and students then built a robot tower demonstrating a group plan or their own plan. Working together on a group plan was practiced in small groups playing board games where teamwork was required to complete the game. This will remain a focus area of practice and common language all year. |
