I 6th Grade Activities Day Who ever said that school was all work and no fun? Our sixth graders know first-hand that learning is always an enjoyable experience. One special day teachers plan is Activity Day. Each student participates in six activities. This may seem easy, yet selecting six out of forty great activities becomes a lesson in prioritizing and decision making. Activities include cooking, leadership training, computer activities, juggling, swimming, educational games, drama, aerobics, geometry, oragami, miniature aircraft, mini-book making, basketball, writing time, scherenschnitte, kickball and art activities, to name only a few. Students pass from one activity to the next every forty-five minutes. They gain an understanding of Junior High scheduling and have an opportunity to experience various teaching styles. Guest instructors give the day that very special touch. Imagine a class with the Superintendent. Many administrators and specialists enjoy sharing their expertise. At the end of this special day students are filled with excitement and have gained a real education! Wona Park, Kania Shammas, Kenan Atasi, Haidar Shareef and Gustaf Sjoblom learn how to whip up something delicious!
