Collaboration Friday: What Makes a Good Citizen


What is a citizen? What makes a good citizen? Why should we be good citizens?

These were all questions we had about how we operate in a school and community after we read
Click, Clack, Moo!

In this fun story the cows, hens, and ducks, demand precious materials from the farmer.  This story helped us ask, what should a good cow do? What should a good hen do? what should a good duck do? When we don't operate well together, things fall apart, like they did in this story. 

So, what does a good citizen do? We decided to interview some peers, teachers, and, administrators at our school to see what they think makes a good citizen.
