IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

We started something new in morning meeting this week: sharing stories!  Each day, during morning meeting we have a sharing time.  In the past, the kids have had a chance to bring in items from home and talk about them.  While this has been successful I gave the kids a challenge on Monday.  Could we still share, but not have any physical items in our hands?  Could we share stories from our life?  The kids were so excited about this!  We have had so many stories over the past few days.  I feel like these stories are really helping build our community.  The kids are so engaged in listening to the others and finding out about what is happening outside of school.  They are genuinely concerned and have a lot of questions to ask.  It is great to see the kids so involved in “outside school” life!  I have to say that this is turning into one of my favorite parts of the day 🙂
