What a great first few days with my students! The English department gave a presentation on middle school life to familiarize students with campus procedures! Students' main concerns were about the schedule and what classes they have each day. I assured them that after a week or two, they will have it down. :)
Here are some pictures of a team building activity we did today. I gave them two sets of puzzle pieces mixed together in one envelope They had to put them together, and each puzzle had to measure exactly 8 by 8. It was challenging, but the kids were tenacious, and some were successful. They all worked together so well. You may wonder why I would do something like this in my English class. I strongly believe that it is important for students to get to know one another and for us to build a strong sense of community. I have found that this makes my class run more smoothly for the remainder of the year. They also make new friends!
