Get to know you.. roll the yarn
As we began a year of 4th grade CSI, we enjoyed a "get to know you" activity where we took turns rolling a ball of yarn across the floor to each other. As the ball of yarn came to each student, they shared something about themselves.
We made an analogy to how our class-
room functions as a team. We depend on
each other for ideas, support, encouragement and friendship. When we lose one person in our web, our web is weakened.
We actually ran out of yarn when we were making our web and tied on another roll. We symbolized that as a new student coming on board. We would immediately welcome them to our class.
Great way to start the year!
All About Me:
Each Tuesday, the students may bring something to share about themselves. Since our program involves students from three campuses coming together, it is a nice way to get to know each other.

Thanks, Cole!

Moriah brought her reading medals to show her love of reading. She had many talents to share with us and told us about her travels to interesting places. She once snorkled with a pufferfish!
