SD No.48 My Action Plan - Family Page Example

Family

The blanket of family wraps the child in the safety and security of positive and nurturing relationships. Family is defined by who the child identifies as their caregivers. This may include their family at home, at school, or within their community. These relationships will help support the child in making their first blanket of resiliency strong and foundational.

Title: The Buddy Bench Project

Big Idea: Inclusive school environments are important

Essential Questions:

In hopes of creating a kind, caring and inclusive school environment, what would an ideal GHE “Buddy Bench” for our school playground look and feel like?

The school’s PAC provided the challenge to our class to help make the playground more inclusive. The students designed, and built several buddy benches, working in small groups. We used the tools available in the school’s maker space and held a school wide vote for the winning design. All designs were built and are being used throughout our school as places to sit.

Grade 5 and 6 students in Division 1 have drafted, designed, estimated costs, and have built authentic Buddy Benches for our school playground. Throughout the whole process, they have acted as “critical friends” by giving constructive feedback to each other to help make the benches better.

I consider my class a family because I feel connected to my learning because of their help.
