⛵#ELB21 5th Grade SEL: Shrinking Vessel🦈
5th graders had to use teamwork to figure out how to get the entire group in a rectangle on the ground surrounded by sharks. After much trial and error, they needed a little help from Mr. Littrel to come up with a winning plan. After reflecting on the activity, students felt they could’ve done better by incorporating the following healthy habits: Beginning with a Plan in Mind, Thinking Win-Win and Seeking First to Understand and Then be Understood.
🎈#ELB21 1st Graders Synergizing!🎈
1st Graders learned about habit #6 Synergizing. Students played a balloon game where they had to work together to keep the balloons in the air. They had a great time and learned working together is better! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
#ELB21 Synergizing Second Graders!
Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Fauser, and Ms. Thompson are having their 2nd graders work on healthy habit #6: SYNERGIZE! Students were given the task of engineering the tallest tower they can while working with their tables buddies. Check out the student collaboration and design! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
#ELB21 Kindergarten "What is it?" Game!
Last week, the kindergarten class played a game call "What is it?" They used the listening and attending skills they learned to guess the mystery item. Can you guess the mystery item? It lives in the garden, it has 2 body parts and 8 legs. #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
#ELB21 Growth Mind Set Portraits
Last week, the 5th grade students made self portraits using construction paper to go along with their growth mindset lessons. #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
#ELB21 First Things First w/ 1st!
1st grade learned about Habit #3 today: Put First Things First. We made rock jars and learned the importance of prioritizing, time management, and organization. The big rocks represent things that are the most important and urgent (ex: Family, health, school/work). The smaller rocks are things that are important, but not urgent (ex: Watching TV, playing games, talking to friends). The sand is the remaining small stuff (ex: toys and material things). #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
💦#ELB21 3rd Keeping Fred Dry! 💦
3rd graders have stepped up to the challenge of trying to Keep Fred Dry! Check out the instructions and all the hard work/team work these innovative students have! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
🐟#ELB21 3rd Graders Think WIN-WIN! 🐟
3rd graders in the Extended Learning Block practiced one of the 7 Habits of Happy Kids today. Habit 4 Think Win-Win! They used the story The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister to practice this habit and created their own fish! #ENJOY #FarmerFUN
