Fair Play – October

This month went by so fast! We are not finished with fair play yet, because we only had two weeks. At our school the students spent the past week learning all about their Inuit culture out on the land and all over town. I cannot wait to have them back, hear what they did and continue our lesson on fair play.

 (I will add a “rap up” post after we finish!)

We started out the month talking about fair play in our morning meeting. We discussed what it was and how we could show it in our lives.

Then we watched Jesse’s video on fair play, and got a sneak peak at the ski room. We followed that up by watching a few videos of different ways athletes showed fair play on the field.

I talked about fair play vocabulary and we described what fair play looked and sounded like.

Then we made an anchor chart to help us remember.

 We talked about ways that we could show fair play, and we took the challenge to show fair play in gym class. After gym we wrote about ways that we showed fair play (not everyone is finished yet).

 Next up is some readers theatre that shows people

not playing fair. We will re-write them to show fair play and then read them out to the class.

Afterwards we will choose a short moment in our script that really shows fair play, and create a tableau of that moment which we will take a photo of to make posters teaching other students in our school how to play fair.

As you can see lots planned! We should finish in the first week of November so that we can move on to community. Stay posted for more (better) photos of our fair play!
