Rules in action: Early Childhood students embrace community principles

At the beginning of the year, our Early Childhood students embarked on a journey to discover what it means to be part of a community. Since the EC program’s guiding principles (take care of ourselves, each other, and our environment) are somewhat abstract for our youngest learners, their teachers talked about them in the moment and took photos to document when students were living out the rules of our school. ECers then worked together to craft posters that illustrate the rules.

Now when ECers see someone picking up Play-Doh on the floor or helping another student open a container, they often say, “That’s the rules of school!”
