What an incredible first week of team building, and learning how to work EFFECTIVELY in groups.
After a long but exciting August, the classroom was finally ready for it's new students! |
We used SNOWBALLS to share our experiences with negative "YOU" messages, and worked on changing them to "I" messages. |
In MATH, we played "Get a Clue," where we worked as teams to build a structure based on a series of clues! |
"Two to a Marker," was a success - reflecting on how collaboration can result in something better than we had intended. |
"Milling to Music" on the first day, allowed us to find similarities between those in our new classroom community. |
Finding constructive ways ("I" messages) to convey feelings. |
Finally, we ended our week with a class meeting, led by CHIP! We reflected on our first week and discussed what we are looking forward to this year! |
