"Islands"

This is a CAD image of what I plan to do for an activity called "Islands"

 (by the way, I designed this on the computer myself. I feel proud!). The team has to get from one platform to another using a large plank. They must find a way to get everyone over in multiple turns because that platform in the middle cannot support every team member the first round. This is challenging because the team has to communicate between each other to accomplish the task. These CAD designs are cool but they take a little while to make. Please be patient while I continue to create them. Thank you.

Well we beat the Day School! Hooray! Now I need to talk about my project. I want to start a team work program for the younger grades at Oakbrook. My plan is to involve 3-5 graders in teamwork activities during their PE time. I will construct 3-4 team building devices with which the students will have to complete tasks together. The other stations that I will create, involve team building activities that will not require building (Ex. the human knot, etc...). Mrs. Myers is my desired mentor because of her great knowledge in the area of children and activities. She also is the PE teacher for the children that I want to lead. as soon as I figure out how to add pictures to this blog easily I will visually show my ideas! If there are questions, please ask. However, this is a hard thing to describe in words. It will be easier to show. So please be patient while I learn.

I guess this is how I set this blog up. If this shows up on the site, then I know I have done something right. I am a poet. Thank you Ms. Autenzio. I have changed my project a lot in the past few days. I have decided to make the ropes course out of the woods and not permanent. I have also decided that Mrs. Myers would be the best mentor to have because she will be directly involved with the scheduling and the executing of the project. I am currently working on a budget and sketching my ideas of what I plan to build/teach. I will be posting plans in better detail soon but I am currently organizing thoughts. Wish the Oakbrook Varsity Boy's soccer team luck tomorrow as we face off with the Day School.
