The materials you will need will depend on the activities which your showcase. Our school is made up of 16 classes of fifth graders. These students come to us from seven different K-4 elementary schools. Our program draws from the Hellison Model and tends to be heavily cooperative in nature. Problem solving is also stressed in our classes.
Children learn that things work better when they work together.
During this program we showcase activities that the children are doing in Physical Education and Music class. Small group activities such as floor pong, four square volleyball, one on one cone soccer, chicken noodle hockey and Foxtail horseshoes. The last activity is a dance activity which we invite the parents to come down for and have their child help teach it to them. The Green Eggs and Ham activity mentioned above and The Electric Slide are a couple of the activities we have used at the end which the students have taught to their parents. The activities have been both line dances and creative ones but tend to be more line dances.
