Building Community: Our Responsibilities

Roles and Responsibilities

Belonging to a community involves different roles and responsibilities for each of us. The children have been learning about different jobs within our community.

I asked "what communities do we belong to?"  The children know of two communities they are a part of:  home and school. We took the time this week to identify what responsibilities the children have as part of these communities.

Responsibilities at home:

Tyreese: I have to make my bed.

Byron: Not to jump around in the house.

Sophie: I have to pick up my toys.

Grace and Jayla: Have to clean their bedrooms.

Esme: Go to school.

Responsibilities at school:

Oliver: Help clean up.

Grace and Sophie: Be kind.

Jayla: Walk inside.

We concluded by making a Venn diagram which made the children aware that they have similar responsibilities at both home and Creative Minds.
