Last Thursday, the Junior High participated in the first "S.W.A.T." time. S.W.A.T stand for Student Wide Achievement time and happens about 2x a month. During this time, students either 1) work on catching up with classes 2) have enrichment opportunities in core subjects 3) interventions on core subjects 4) have a "option" time for fun/enriching activities that students normally don't get to do during the school day. So examples of "options" were "how to make rootbeer" (science) yoga, signlanguage, craft activities, etc.
My students participated in the community by going to the apple orchard. We went to Emma Krumbies in Belle Plaine and had a wonderful time. Students counted apples, went on a hayride, taste tested apples and "voted" on which were the best (graphing), and more. It was a great social activity and a nice way to get our kids out into the community.
Great way to incorporate their goals and objectives and utilize the activity for graphing! You rock Ms Eng :)
