The Earth group had a story about friendship and sharing. The children all agreed that sharing is generosity. As we reviewed the story, we drew down the plot of the story. The children were impressed by the way the boys kicked out their anger and became friends again. Orin and Alexis thought the boys solved their problem well. Other children and Ann wondered if there is a better way to share when we can not cut or split things into half. Then, we moved on to our project of making the generosity tree.
Once the tree was complete I couldn't help but notice it's unique shape so I asked the children what they thought it looked like, and here are their thoughts:
Ava - It is like my green robot
Tai - Red tree like my red McQueen toy
Francine- It is kind of long tree and happy
Orin- It's a bird bath carrying a baby
Alexis- A stroller with a baby in it
Pippa - It’s real!
It was time to make leaves for their generosity tree so I asked the children to draw what generosity means to them on their leaves:
The leaves from left to right on the picture below:

Pippa -A beach hug and mum and dad
Tai - Playing together with Sofia, we both have swords
Alexis - A boy broke a tree and mommy fixed it she is generous
Francine- A tree broke and daddy fix it, he threw away the broken part
Ava- I am smiling because I am happy because I am at school
Orin -Me and my brother holding the goalie hockey stick

Who are we? How do the children feel about themselves? How would they describe themselves? To understand this, I asked the children to finish this sentence: I am a little girl or boy who ....
Orin: shares a lot and sometimes forgets to say thank-you.
Ava: is happy, very happy and I like playing in the water.
Alexis: likes to make Avery smile and play with Francine
Francine: likes to read books with Alexis
Pippa: likes to help Camille cleanup after group time and I like it when we share treats
Tai: like to play on the the playground with everybody
