Last week in Miss Muhlenkamp's Physical Education class, students started the week with a group activity. In groups of four, students used assigned objects to cross the half-court line without touching the ground. This activity helped students to get to know each other better, understand the importance of communication, and experience fun competition among their peers!
On Friday afternoon, Health Education students enjoyed an outdoor activity. Working with a buddy, students were instructed to answer the questions that had been placed on the fence. Each partner pair was assigned a numbered question to start. They then had to proceed to answer the subsequent questions in numerical order. But, there was a catch: the station numbers were not placed in order! Students had to strategize and communicate with their partner to figure out how they could finish first, which ultimately required getting some exercise along the way.

On Friday, Mrs. Emmons' Math Lab students participated in a team-building puzzle activity. Teammates had to work together to complete their puzzle. The first team to finish won a small prize. Mrs. Emmons states that it was inspiring to observe students communicating with each other, sharing ideas, and supporting one another throughout the activity. Afterwards, Mrs. Emmons conducted a quick debriefing to discuss the importance of listening, delegating tasks, and working cohesively toward a shared goal—all crucial skills for working in a group. This simple activity was a great reminder of how we can all come together to solve challenges and build a strong sense of community. Mrs. Emmons reports that she is super proud of this group!
