What do I feel proudest of this week????

This week in my Introduction class we were going over team work. I took my students outside and did two or three team work activities. One activity is where without talking, the students had to put themselves in order by their birthday. The second activity was the knot game. The knot game is where you break them up into groups of 10 or 12, while holding hands they cannot let go and un-twist themselves (there's a little more to it....). I decided to let one group talk, one group not talk at all, and one group assign one person to talk. The kids loved it. By the end of the activity, I had two administrators observing me :) We sat in the grass afterwards and discussed what took place and why. It was fun being outside and the students realized that leaders do emerge and teamwork is essential :)
