Class activities for Thursday, September 6
We continued to work through opening week tasks today:
- We set our class goals for the year. View them at our Data Center.
- Students worked in teams to build straw towers. The tallest tower that withstood students trying to blow it down won. This was a review about the frustrations of working in a team, but also the rewards. View the pics!
- We played a game called, “Win as Much as You Can.” This was also a game that taught cooperation in a group, but also that it better to work with other teams than against them. In this game, when teams tried to beat the other teams, most teams lost. But if all the teams would have worked together, then would have won more than if they had just competed against each other. This year, it will be important to help all each other out, even other students sitting at other teams.
Notes:
- Team Day is tomorrow, Friday, September 7 from 10:15-11:45 am. The class will be completing team-building activities in student groups. Can you help? Instructions will be provided! A few more volunteers are needed!
