Focus Fued

All for 1!!

Ms. Warner has put together a program for our 3rd graders called "Focus Feud".

The concept is for each third grade class to participate in a large group activity where students will exercise many 21st century skills.  Students are asked to listen and collaborate, inspire one another,  and use brain critical thinking to focus on the task at hand. Once a month, our third grade classes meet collectively to compete against one another for the privilege of wearing the "Focus Feud" necklace. 

For the month of December, listening was the focus technique.  Each member of the class was given a different object to pass around a circle, having to listen to directions as to which way they needed to move.  This month Ms Meredith's class took home the "Focus Feud" necklace.  As students learn how to win and loose gracefully, we will continue to work together in an attempt to claim possession of the prize.

Major Cliff Flowers stopped by GRE!!

Major Flowers presented to our 3rd graders what the armed force were comprised of and what each of the division was responsible for in defending our freedom.

As a member of the U.S. Air Force Major Flowers spent time in the middle east.  He shared stories with the students about his desert living in Qatar and the sacrifices that our military make for us each day.  Our students walked away with a greater understanding of the role of the U.S. military through out the world and are grateful for all who have served.
