Today students worked together to create maps of Willowwind School in order to identify how the school building meets their needs. It turns out that Willowwind does a remarkable job of providing light, water, shelter, and oxygen. We even have a food source in our garden!

We enjoyed identifying our Green Roof as a source for oxygen, our water fountains as a spot to quench our thirst, and the doors and windows to shelter us from extreme temperatures. Students discussed how lunch boxes and kitchens, although we may think differently, do not grow our food! So we discussed how food gets into our kitchen and into our lunch boxes (or snack bags). Based on our rich discussions this year in GD and with Chef Gaby, students engaged in a great talk about buying locally and the process of food consumption.

Tomorrow students will work together to differentiate between needs and desires. Until then, check out some great cooperative work together as students spent their morning making the most fabulous detailed maps of Willowwind School.
