Our community explored connections to Identity, our school story, and our Blair Cares model.  We wanted to develop an understanding of identity, gain a stronger sense of self-identity and an authentic understanding of how and why we might “Care for Self” and “Care for Others”, and to foster reciprocal relationships and build understanding of care and responsibility to each other as a school community.

We engaged in an experience that was intended to be a simulation of an interactive museum.  Our students encountered belongings that represent aspects of a person’s identity.  The invitation was for our students to engage with the belongings by viewing, listening, and touching as well as reflecting on the provocation questions in the room.

We provided the students with the provocation:

“We are surrounded by belongings.

What might we learn about a person as we interact with and think about their belongings?”
