BRRRRRRR!

We started the new year off in a chilly fashion with highs only in the 40s. Thankfully, we were scheduled to be the gym for the month of January and took full advantage of the shelter and warmth.

Today, we played an interdisciplinary cooperative game that required students to use not only their quickness and endurance, but also cognitive skills and teamwork.

Piles and piles of beanbags labeled with numbers from 1 to 5 were placed in the center of the gym. The object of the game was to use the numbers on the beanbags to form the given sum for that round. Each player on a team took a turn racing to the middle to grab a beanbag. Communication and mental math became more important as additional beanbags were returned home.
