Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

Here at Chatham our classes have been particularly great at working as teams in classes and at break time.

Learning to work as a team strengthens not only the lessons being learned in class but friendships as well.  Yesterday we played a new game, "5-4-3-2-1" in which students are asked to spontaneously group themselves in a specific number in order to not get eliminated.  There were groups of all ages working together to problem solve and work to make sure as many children as possible could get into groups.  Here are some pictures!

Check out our flickr page here to see more pictures from the week and to see all the great things the children are working on.

Brain Training

In brain training we play lots of fun games. Some of the games I liked the best were number tilt, acts and learning the first 10 presidents' last names.  I can say them all. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison and Tyler.  It's a little confusing but it is fun.  The best thing I've done so far is arrow colors, where you need to say the color of arrows as fast as you can for like 3 lines.
