WHAT DO WE WANT? TEAMWORK! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? NOW!
The theme this week was all about teamwork during our time
with Ms. Kobi. Our time together started by everyone taking part in the circus
elephant walk. Typically in the circus, elephants will use their trunks to link
to the elephant tail in front of them, creating a chain of elephants walking
together. Today we did just the same! Each student used one hand as a tail and
another hand as a trunk –we started with only five people in a line while
everyone else chanted:
Great big elephants, oh what a sight!
Swinging their trunks from left to right.
Some are followers and one is the king,
as they all march around the circus ring.
Then we put our teamwork skills to the test and linked
everyone together for one gigantic elephant walk! Oh, what a sight!
Finally, we finished the day off with partner juggling.
Together with their reading partner, students stood across from one another and
side-by-side to practice juggling scarves. To make it extra fun, we added in a
few spins before catching each scarf!
This month has been a hoot getting to participate in actual
circus activities! It has been so much fun learning to balance feathers, juggle
and walk the elephant walk. Next week our circus adventures will continue with
Ms. Kobi sharing her favorite circus read alouds with us!
