Wednesday - Extended CREW (9:05 – 9:55)
WEB leaders have been trained and are ready to lead some activities today. Please be mindful that this is their first day in the classroom with you. Our hope is that the WEB leaders enter the classroom early to build a strong relationship with you and their CREW class members. Please support them by helping with student management, potentially clarity of activities, and overall encouragement.
WEB leaders will begin in the cafeteria for attendance, a pep talk and reminder of the activities then will join you and your CREW class. We have asked them to
Introduce themselves to their CREW class
Play 3 games with your CREW class (Jack in the Box, Bean Bag Name Game, and Tip of my Finger Game)
WEB leaders will NOT be going over School Information (previously know as School Tour) If you feel it necessary to do a tour with your CREW class can you connect with your WEB leader. Grade 6's have been given 2 tours (one in the spring and one on their orientation day)
Please Note: These activities may NOT take the whole extended CREW time. Teachers please be prepared to take over the remainder of the classtime.
