At LCNS, we believe that children are competent and capable. As such, we provide many opportunities for them to contribute to caring for our classroom materials in a meaningful way. Children in both classes are asked to help tidy up their dishes after snack and put their water bottles away. We also encourage and support them to put their belongings away in the cubbies when we come inside and to help tidy up toys. If something spills, we help them to clean it up.
Recently, the children have been eager to help with all kinds of chores, including sweeping and mopping the floors, drying spilled water from water play activities, cleaning the paint brushes, wiping the tables, and washing the paint off the easel.
Working together to care for our environment is an important way to build community. When children have the opportunity to be part of a safe and caring classroom community, it helps them develop positive relationships and grows their empathy.
