It was a short but action packed week coming back from Spring break.
Tuesday was a chance for all of us to talk and catch up on how everyone's break was. If there were any issues that needed to be resolved we talked about them, but basically we just tried to gear up for this final stretch of the year.
On Wednesday and Thursday, we created Treasure Maps. Students cut out pictures and words from magazines that they wanted to connect to their future. For example, they could look for the house of their dreams, a location on an island to build that house, a picture of a fishing pole that could represent a favorite hobby. Basically they were trying to associate pictures and words with their future life (a.k.a the things they treasure).
On Friday we participated in a team builder called the Egg Drop Challenge. Students were randomly assigned to teams and with a bunch of different supplies they had to create a structure that could hold and protect and egg from a 12 foot drop. They had a lot of fun with this activity even though only about 1 in 3 eggs survived.
Have a great week!
