Had a great time at teacher team building this weekend. The LC kids did a great job leading the activities and working with the teachers to solve the different challenges. Although Baby Laf and I could not participate in all the activities - no Human Knot for example. I had fun working through each challenge. What impressed me the most about both groups of teachers and students was their perseverance. There were a couple challenges that took some time, and each group was given the option to stop and start all over again, but they did not. Each group decided to keep trying and in each case the group found success!
All in all, it was a nice was to spend a Sat. morning. I was nice to see everyone outside of the school building and outside of the traditional teacher - student roles.
What did everyone else think??

I learned a lot about myself and other people there. At one point, I found difficulty completing a task that was assigned to me but learned from that experience. In some way, it sets an example to the students that it is ok to struggle and possibly fail at some point because it is those failures that makes us better next time. If I was giving the chance to do that task again, I'm sure to put more effort in succeeding and it will be more meaningful. As a teacher, it also provides the opportunity to interact with students outside of the classroom and work as a team to complete the challenges. We build stronger relationships from the team-building!
I had a lot of fun on Saturday as well! It gave us students the chance to really work with teachers outside of the classroom environment. It was also great to turn the tables and let the teachers figure things out instead of the students doing it themeselves. I felt like we all connected with eachother, too! I would love to do it again!
