How We Organize Ourselves: Home, School, and Beyond

This summer, we will inquire into how communities work and function through shared rules, systems, and routines. We'll be using our garden and chickens to teach the theme! We've got an exciting project lined up - organizing our own farmers' market.

​

Children will be actively involved in developing a mini business plan for the market, as well as designing brochures and signs to advertise it. We will sell our fresh produce and eggs, and students will have the exciting opportunity to decide which non-profit organization they want to donate our profits to.

In addition to exploring the concept of organizing ourselves, we will also tie in the importance of working together as a community. 

​

By engaging in this project, we hope to teach children about the importance of shared systems and routines and how they help our communities thrive.

​

Topics we will investigate:

• What is a community?

• How do we work within a community?

• How do systems, rules, and routines help our communities?

• How do systems, rules, and routines connect a community?
