Cooperation Everywhere!

The past two weeks our students have been learning the skills that are required when cooperating others. We have made butter, created bubble wands, had a bubble blowing brigade challenge, created pumpkins, built towers out of spaghetti and marshmellows, and last but not created animals that would only come out on Halloween. Even though we have had loads of fun the students have learned that cooperation is a lot of hard work. They now realize that there are a lot of skills such as; listening, sharing, inviting, encouraging, using good manners, giving compliments, compromising, communicating, taking turns, and problem solving. They also learned that if you don't use all of the skills all the time that they will run into a lot of problems when trying to cooperate with others. It has been a lot of fun watching the students work their way through many diffcult issues and being successful!
