Getting Along

Last updated: 02/06/07

In this unit, The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss sets the stage for examining how friends solve problems and get along on the playground. Primary students think about the factors that contribute to and detract from their recess experience, and plan ways to make the playground safe and fun. Their teacher uses the Seeing Reason Tool to guide and document class discussions and to collect students' thinking as they consider solutions to most common problems on the playground. Students then poll their peers to find the biggest problem on the playground, graph their results, and set out to find solutions.
