As a provocation to our new unit of inquiry Where We Are in Place and Time: Journeys Create Opportunities to Change, we took a journey to Mekdela kindergarten. We spent roughly an hour experiencing what it is like to attend this local Ethiopian school.
Our visit began with a whole-school welcome and equivalent to 'morning meeting' outside. We joined the students in singing and responding to questions.
We then accompanied one of the younger classes inside and participated in their classroom learning.
The purpose of this visit was to provoke thinking about our new unit on journeys. The lines of inquiry for this unit are:
Ask your child to share some of his/her experiences with you, and ask about his/her thinking. Did it change? What did s/he notice?
