Problem Solving As A Community

At our morning meeting,we share news and sometimes we share problems that I have noticed or someone else has noticed. We spend time as a community thinking of possible solutions and plans to hep us all feel heard, safe and welcomed:  Here was our problem: The marble raceway is a very popular classroom item and  some people were never having a turn. We came up with the idea of having a weekly drawing to take it home on the weekend. Now, the children are independently running a turn schedule for this toy. The list is posted in the classroom and the children refer to it to determine whose turn is next.
