We expect to have lots of wonderful hand-made gifts ready for family and friends. We reviewed rules and have been playing kickball as weather permitted. On cold days or inclement weather days we have done structured indoor activities including four corners, holiday card making and board games. Battle Ball shows cooperation when students share the ball and have teamwork. Another way that cooperation is shown in Octopus tag is by helping everybody gain confidence and good sportsmanship.
Parachute shows cooperation by lifting, and dropping the parachute.
Each day after snack and break the students worked for 30-40 minutes on the computers. They were encouraged to try new programs each week. Software titles included Math Rabbit, SimAnt, James Discovers Math, Hyper-Studio , and Kid Pix. Many of the K-2 students used Kid Pix to draw holiday pictures. In the 3-5 Yearbook Staff elective we spent much of our time discussing and planning the yearbook.
