Cooperation in Action

Continuing on with our idea that everyone can teach someone today we put that theory into action.  We created our very own food group rainbows.  The children were given books to read and reference. They worked together, under their own direction, to read the information,  color the rainbow appropriately, and cut and sort the foods.  They had to assign roles, get along, make decisions and explain their thinking to each other.  Finally they came back together as a whole group to present their completed projects to the class.  Just think ....if they can do all of that in grade one ...ohhhh, the possibilities are endless!!!!
