Team Day 2015

Team building activities.

Class activities for Friday, September 11

Friday, September 11th, 2015

Today was Team Day. We spent the morning working on solving teamwork challenges. In the first challenge, students had to move their feet together, without letting their feet separate from the person next to them. Other challenges included lowering a hulu hoop at the same time as the rest of the group, untying knots in a rope around a tree, and trying to fit their entire team on an ever-decreasing-in-size sheet. It was difficult at times, but students solved a lot of challenges by working together and persevering. Thank you to all the family members that helped today! Here are some pics and vids:

We also took some time to remember the events of September 11, 2001:

Class activities for Wednesday, September 9

Wednesday, September 9th, 2015

Today was filled with more get-to-know-you activities and procedures. Here are some highlights:

  • Students received their chromebooks and class email accounts.
  • Students received new seats, class jobs, and elected team captains. We brainstormed what a good team captain would be like before we voted.
  • We completed an activity about using teamwork to build a pyramid of cups. Students had to work together to use string and rubberbands to stack the cups, instead of using their hands. There were several mistakes, but students learned to persevere.
