We focused in on our Habit of Character of Collaboration. Throughout the year we have discussed that collaboration was about working together.
Students learned that it means a lot more than that!
We learned to actively listen when others were sharing their ideas. We used a "talking stick" to give each person a chance to share their ideas and the other team members an opportunity to listen closely to others' ideas.
Each small group was given a group of supplies to collaborate to create something.
After many days of listening, discussing and working together, each team collaborated and made a creation. It was a week full of feedback, some conflict and productive problem solving. Collaboration is hard! As a crew, we are committed to continue to keep practicing to help our collaboration muscles get stronger.
