Connectedness
Feeling a sense of belonging to a larger whole, such as humanity, the planet's web of life, and the spiritual dimensions of existence.
Dimension Relating — Caring for Others and the World
For me
- Does every child in my class feel part of the group? How do I know?
- Where do I feel connected myself – to the staff, the school, the place?
For my class
- Who or what do you belong to?
- What connects you with a child on another continent?
In the classroom
- Trace an everyday object back to its origin: who all contributed to it?
- A class partnership with a school in another country or region.

In a circle: a ball of yarn is thrown. Whoever catches it names something they have in common with the person who threw it. In the end everyone holds a web.
