What Does Community Mean To You....

 During Morning Meeting the children were engaged in a conversation about community. We have been talking about our classroom community, AFS Lower School community and our family community.   This led to a conversation about  " What Does Community Mean To You?"  The following are some of the children’s responses: 

• Talking Being nice to people 
• Sharing your toys 
• Building with people and sharing
• Sharing your crackers when you run out of crackers 
• Helping to put away blocks
• Community is asking to have a turn after somebody is done with the swing. 
• People 
• Helping 
• Driving a bus
• Playing with a toy with somebody 
• When a friend gets hurt with a block, I kiss him.
• Picking up garbage in the woods is community 
• Helping people
• Community is doing nice things and playing with each other. 

This led to a conversation about people in our community who help each other and help to make our community safe.  Fire fighters, police officers, doctors, veterinarians and lawyers were a few that were mentioned.
