Team Building Day 2

Today we did another team building activity with the students. The objective this time was to pass a bucket of tennis balls around the circle using nothing but their feet. The bucket could not be touched with hands and could not touch the ground. They quickly found this was not as easy as it looked.

Dylan and Caleb watch as Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Norman demonstrate how to pass the bucket. Looks easy, right???

Logan passes off to Nicole
Kaylee and Zach have a hard time keeping the bucket off the ground

Devanna and Audreyanna figure out how to make it work

Team Building Day 1

Today we spent some time learning about working as a team. Sometimes we work as individual class teams, and other times we have to work as a 3rd grade team. The objective of the activity was to see which class could successfully move their hula hoop all the way around the circle without letting go of each hand. Mrs. Mason's class took the top prize in today's team building activity!!! Way to go!!!

Rhendi, Naima and Jamieson work quickly to move their hula hoop!

Haley and Selena have worked out a plan to move, move, move!

Hunter and Jacob try to figure out which way works best!
