Flyer Time = Community

Mrs. Hake's Flyer Time class was working on becoming a community. They were practicing juggling to incorporate teamwork, patience and tolerance. Each student was given a number and then they had to remember whose number was before theirs and whose came after so they knew where the object would be coming from and where they needed to toss it. They started by juggling 1 thing.
They then tried to juggle multible things. At one point Mrs. Hake told the students to position themselves anyway they wanted to help the process but they had to keep their original numbers.

As an observer I noticed that yarn with a loose end is probably not a good thing to juggle.

6th Grade Transition

The incoming 6th graders had a transition day prior to our first day of school.  Students learned where their class were and where the lockers were located as well as how to get them open.  They had a chance to tour the school, experience the cafeteria and participate in some activities to help them make new friends.
