Class activities for Thursday, September 5
We continued to learn new procedures and meet new people today:
- Teams elected team captains that will help their team be the best they can be.
- Each team received a class job.
- Students received lockers and selected partners.
- Students used a website today called MobyMax. We’ll use this website this year to practice reading, math, and language arts. Today, we practiced vocabulary words. Your student can access this website from any internet-connected computer in order to practice and get smarter!
- We played a game call “Win as Much as You Can.” The goal is to win points, but the number of points earned is based on what each team selects. When the teams work against each other, some teams win, and some lose. When the teams work together, everyone wins. So far, the class has been working against each other, and they are starting to see that working together might be a better idea. We’ll finish tomorrow and see if the students decide that working together is better than working against each other.
