My School (A Project Example)

One successful lesson of representing children's experiences came in full circle when we talked about themselves, their family and their immediate surroundings. When the class decided to create an environment where they could all be together in one community with the school as the main entity, a structural representation of that community became the end product of a long process of thoughts, ideas, and suggestions. 

Our school, surrounded by the different houses of the children.

Children took part in building their own homes and then participated eagerly in making the school house complete with trees and garden that surrounds it. It was an exciting project, elaborate but fun!
