During math, students have been learning about growing patterns. Today, they were given a team task to make the pattern and continue it. The challenge - working together, "the first grade way." Working as a 5 person team was more challenging than each thought. What if someone wants to do their own? What happens if I don't like how they do it? What if I want to put that piece down? Many problems came up throughout and children had to use patience, flexibility and cooperation to complete the task. In first grade, students will be given many team building activities to work through and conquer.
