What are the basic needs and how are they met.

Students were given a picture of a dog that looks like it needs a home. Students were asked if they decide to take this dog home, what would the pet need? Students came up with its basic needs—a warm home, love and attention, food, water, walks each day or a litter box. We also distinguished between the pet’s needs and extra things people may want for the pet such as toys and sweaters.

Each child was given a hand puppet and they were asked to focus on their basic needs. Grouping the responses into categories with the general headings of food, water, shelter, clothing, education and healthcare.  Assigning each category a color by colouring a big dot in the column; food, water, shelter (a warm home), clothes, education and healthcare. Students started to colour in big dots showing that they have all their needs met today.

 

HAPPY faces of students in the air to celebrate that their whole community has all their basic needs.
