Mrs. Schleter’s awesome 3rd graders brought incredible energy and strategy to Mr. Schlegel’s PE class today! Inspired by Mr. Schlegel’s summer trip to Alaska, the students took on an exciting new challenge: "Crossing the River."
The mission required real collaboration, problem-solving, and communication. Working together in teams, students had to navigate across the gym floor without letting their feet touch the "water"! Using only three "rocks" (rubber dots) and a "log" (carpet square), they strategized every step of the way to safely reach their "raft" (hula hoop).
Before jumping into the river, the class started with a fast-paced game of line tag and reviewed their expectations, putting a special focus on Rule #4: Encourage Your Classmates! It was inspiring to hear the gym filled with words of support, high-fives, and pure encouragement as teams worked toward a shared goal.
A huge shout-out to Mr. Schlegel for creating such an engaging, creative lesson that connects real-world experiences to hands-on learning, and to Mrs. Schleter's students for demonstrating what true teamwork looks like! 👏🌟
