Our favorite places in our community- made out of food!

Yesterday you would have received an email from me regarding your child's plan for creating their favorite place in our community.  We have discussed a lot about the different features of our community, and what our community needs, as well as the different systems in place in our community.  The children are very passionate about our community, and realize how lucky they are to live in such an amazing place.

I placed lots of different pictures from our community on a table for the children to reflect on.  They then talked about where their favorite place was in our community and why.  We decided instead of making more things out of recyclable materials that we would make it out food.  We talked about foods that have different shapes, and how we could construct these different places out of food.  The children decided that peanut butter and cream cheese could be the "glue" that keeps these food items together.  

Here is an example of their plan that they created in order to create their projects.  Stay tuned to see the process and final product!
