We had our first family groups yesterday! This is a time for students to meet with a mixed grade group and do activities. The family groups stay the same year to year, so the students get a chance to really get to know each other. I love family groups because it gives the older students a chance to step up to plate and help the younger students. It also makes the middle schoolers seem less "scary" and helps students get to know more teachers and kids at our school.
All we did yesterday was get to know each other and do some ice breaker type activities. Each teacher chose their own activity, but I decided to do a superhero creation. I had each student draw their superhero's costume, give their hero a name, and pick their power. Then we went around and shared our superheroes. It was really fun!
Next month we are carving pumpkins!
