TEAM WORK JUMPROPING

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Thu, 11/08/2018 - 13:23

You can accomplish ANYTHING if you work as a team.  Mr. Albright's class has been doing team building activities for the past two weeks. Today they finished some of them off by jump roping. 

It takes teamwork in order to make jump roping work. You need one person on each end to turn the rope or else nothing happens for the person in the middle to be able to jump the rope. He talked to them about how each person is important in order to accomplish a goal. If even one person is missing, things aren't accomplished the way they would have been without everyone. 

It was a fun activity.

Thank you, Mr. Albright, for always enlightening your students through your activities.

No Two Hands Alike

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Tue, 11/06/2018 - 14:51

Ms. Beyal is one of the favorite guest speakers that the Elementary Education Block has come every year.  She has all the students line up and put their hands out. Then she has them compare the color of their own hands with everyone else around them.  The interesting thing about this experiment is that there is NO TWO HAND COLORS ALIKE!  She then talks to them about differences and about not judging people according to their race or color.  It is a very eye-opening exercise for the students. 

Thank you Ms. Beyal for impacting these students with your hands-on activities and with your knowledge.

Mr. Jamsa Visits the Education Block for Team Building Activities

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Tue, 11/06/2018 - 14:43

It is always fun to have guest speakers come into the classroom. But the Education Block loves when Mr. Ralph Jamsa comes to visit and teach them team building activities.  Mr. Jamsa came and taught the students a rope team building activity that had them concentrating and using their thinking and teamwork skills.

 Thank you Mr. Jamsa for taking time out to benefit the students here at the ALC with your knowledge and expertise.

Elementary Education Block Tackles the Acid River

Submitted by shelley.heaton on Tue, 11/06/2018 - 14:35

Mr. Albright is constantly giving his elementary education classes some fun hands-on activities. This past week they were able to do one, in particular, is entitled, The Acid River. 

 "Acid River" as an outdoor opening activity to warm up the group. It also requires people to get into each other's personal space which helps open them up and begin to connect with each other more quickly.

This activity can be used to stimulate insights into problem-solving, strategy, challenging, collaboration, teamwork, communication, mutual support, encouragement, and celebration.

The game goes as follows:
