Our Class Constitution Tree is a visual, symbolic representation of the rules, routines, and habits that the students must internalize and practice along their experience through school. It's directly related to the essential question that we will focus throughout the whole school year, which is: Body, mind and spirit, division or integration?
 
The body is represented by the tree in these  ways:

 1) The tree trunk represents our own bodies; we have to sit properly in order for it to grow strong and straight. 

2) The branches represent our arms and fingers; we have to raise our hands when we want to speak.

 3)  The grass represents the evacuation line, which is essential to stay organized and safe. 

4) The rain represents the natural resources that surround us; we have to take care of the water, and wash our hands regularly in order to stay clean and grow healthy.

The mind is represented by the tree in these different ways:

5) The leaves represent our friends who we have to respect by listening to them and taking care of them.
6)The apples represent the family who gives us love and who we remember all day.

The spirit is represented by the tree with:
7) The flowers, which remind us that we need to be thankful for our food, family, friends and school.

Class Constitution Tree

First Weeks

During the first weeks we got to know each other, created our class constitution, and developed important habits and routines.  At the end of the second week, we participated in our first What If ? class, where we constructed the simbols of the constitution that we will follow during the whole school year.

Sofia is creating a wonderful, original design!

Each student decorated its own leaf how ever they wanted to.
