Learning Party
When children feel welcome and included, school can feel like a learning party that they’re invited to each and every day!
When children feel welcome and included, school can feel like a learning party that they’re invited to each and every day! At their “learning party,” they learn from one another, and they also teach one another. Everyone learns and grows when they feel good and safe, and strong relationships make that possible.
Share this video with children and then talk about how they learn. For instance, they’re learning when they:
- sit in a circle to talk, sing, listen, play games
- play and work side by side
- talk and listen to each other
- share and take turns
- help one another
- read, write, and make up stories together
Finally, check out this printable so you can sing along!

Inside, Outside With Bert & Ernie
Children can play—and learn!—along with Bert and Ernie as they observe and notice, gather and collect, sort and match, and use clues that build reasoning skills.
Learn & Grow: Inside, Outside, on the Go
Learning can happen anytime, anywhere—inside, outside, or on the go!
My Classroom Circle
Children can create their own unique circle canvas to share their favorite things with their classroom community... and see what they may have in common.
C is for...
Classroom communities care, collaborate, show compassion… and celebrate!
