We started the day by giving the students the opportunity to create a card or gift for a teacher on Teacher Appreciate Week. They then reviewed the SCAMPER Brainstorm method from two weeks ago by making creative changes to Rock, Paper, Scissors with each element of SCAMPER.

Then, the students got to design an all new field game using the SCAMPER method and supplies from the PE closet. We spent the afternoon testing the games out! There was a lot of creativity and teamwork that helped make the afternoon a lot of fun. The 2nd and 3rd graders also did an exceptional job listening and following directions, which is especially impressive for this time of year and VERY much appreciated.

Our last GATE day for 2nd and 3rd grade is next week, Thursday May 12th. Students are welcome to bring a special snack for themselves or to share with our class of 21 on that day. We have one student with a peanut allergy.
