Cooperation
At Tiffany Ridge November is Cooperation Month! All grades are learning about cooperation in our morning meetings. One way to think about Cooperation is “working together to reach shared goals.” As a family, talk about how this definition applies to how you work together at home. What are some goals you share?
Conversation Starters
- Can you share or show what Cooperation means?
- Why do you think it is important to use Whole Body Listening when practicing Cooperation?
Week 1 Family Challenge: This week, plan a time where everyone needs to work together to accomplish a shared goal like cleaning up the space you live in or making a meal together. Make sure everyone has a role to play with specific tasks. When the project is complete, discuss and celebrate how each person’s part was important to the end result.
