On our second day in the Connected Combo, we focused on each child's individual light. The children shared unique traits and talents about themselves that make them shine like the Olympic torch. We did a writing activity where the students had to brainstorm about three different categories: What makes you you? What are your talents? What would your friends say about you? The students then picked their favorite idea from each list and wrote a short paper.
We kept the learning going by playing a game called "Find a Friend Who..." In this activity, the students had a list of items like "went to the ocean" and "lost a tooth." The students walked around with clipboards. They had to shake a friends hand and then find a category the friend could sign. The goal was to find a different friend to sign for every category. So fun! We learned so much about each other.
