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.
