Cherokee school has a gaga pit!
The students are having so much fun playing gaga ball...they play gaga at recess, wellness, before and after school.
"Building Towers"
During wellness class students learned about geometric shapes and designed a plan to build a tower. The students were very creative, they used foam pieces to make cubes, cylinders, pyramids and rectangular prisms to build their towers. The tallest tower was 87 inches high.
“Pyramid Battle”
The objective is to advance to the top of the pyramid. Students pair off at the base of the pyramid and roll a pair of dice. They find out their score by using addition, subtraction or multiplication. The person with the high score moves up the pyramid and the person with the low scores runs one lap and then starts over. It was a great way for the students to get some exercise and practice their math skills.
Cherokee students are playing baseball in January....how is that possible?
Students in Wellness class are getting ready for spring tryouts by working on their hand eye coordination. We used pool noodles as bats and "mini" noodles as baseballs, the kids had a blast!!!
