We spent some time today discussing Star Qualities: what they are, which ones we feel we possess, and which ones others see in us. Each student was provided with a list of Star Qualities and was charged with picking at least one that they feel exemplifies themselves. Then each student passed around their paper and had each of their peers comment with a Star Quality they felt represents that person. Many were surprised to find that their peers found Star Qualities in them, that they didn't realize they possessed or show. Each student created a canvas to display all of the Star Qualities their peers chose for them and one they picked for themselves. (*not all displayed in this pic)
Our Jenga game has a catch: each block color has a type of question associated with it that requires the respondent to think critically about their life past, present, and future.
Every morning we meet as a group for Advisory. Each day we let each other know how we're feeling that morning, what our goals are for that day, and answer a Question of the Day. We also complete activities that range from academic games, to current events, to life skills, to team-building, and more. Here are a few examples of some of the team-building games we have done in the month of October: Ruler Balancing, Helium Stick, Sentence-Building Team Relay, Get-to-Know-You Snowball Fight, and Knot Rope.
