Miss Hackett's Class Learns About Fair Play

October Fair Play
What an incredible month! Before we even had a chance to do the lesson for this month we had an amazing visit from our mentor Lex Gilette and Classroom Champions CEO Steve Mesler. They talked with the students about goal setting and fair play and answered their many questions. The students even got to accompany Lex through a relay around the library. This is an experience that the students will never forget. These are pictures of Lex with all of his menses and Steve sharing his gold medal with another one of Lex's menses. Classroom Champions also gave all 3 Classroom Champions teachers brand new laptops at the end of the visit.

The students were even more excited to dive into this month's theme after meeting Lex and Steve. Whenever I tell them that we are going to watch a video of Lex they all cheer! They are so excited to learn from him. We watched his video on fair play and discussed what fair play looks like at our school. Then, each of the students drew an example of themselves participating in fair play. Here are some examples of them showing off their work.

                   
The last thing we did was accept Lex's challenge to make a video of fair play. The students tossed around a few ideas until we settled on the plan to make a movie of two friends having a race, then one friend falls over. When the other person sees their friend has fallen down they stop to help them up and then finish the race holding hands. You will need to use your imagination to picture my classroom as a racetrack :)
