I love doing things with my Classical Conversations community! A special bond is made between mamas who are teaching the same material the same week for 24 weeks. I've learned SO much in our journey with CC, namely the importance of community and the support it provides (because, yeah, I need it!).
Below is a list of things our group has done or ideas that we'd like to do to grow these relationships:
Ideas to Build Community in Your Community
Renaissance Fair (Cycle 2)
Science Fair
Talent Show
Monthly Get-Togethers in the Summer (we call these Park Days)
Field Trips
Summer Planning Session for the Mamas
Thanksgiving Potluck Lunch
Christmas Party and Service Project
Christmas Party and Service Project
End-of-the-Year Celebration
Your turn! What does your community do to build community?
I love the idea of building community. I would like to see our group do that more. Right now we're mainly doing field trips. I think an art fair would be fun. I would LOVE to do a "school" play or something like that. That's all I can think of right now...but I like your ideas. I hope we can implement them more next year! : )
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Those are great ideas, Stacey! Thanks for sharing! An Art Fair sounds like fun!
