3rd graders are members of the Junior Tiger Team, which serves the late recess period, while 4th and 5th graders are on the Tiger Team, which serves during the lunch period
At the beginning of the year, Ms. Rocelyn and Mr. Ray distribute applications to all 3rd-5th grade classrooms. Students write about why they want to be on the Tiger Team, and once the teams are created, Ms. Rocelyn trains the new members and assigns them to specific playground areas and specific shifts to serve. There are 2-3 sessions of Tiger Teams divided up through the year so that everyone gets a chance to participate.
Each student can work as many or as little days of the week as they would like to. During training, they fill out an interest form detailing when they would like to serve on Tiger Team and where. Junior Tiger Team and Tiger Team members are trained to help resolve conflicts by referring to the problem solving wheel to solve minor grievances. They also work to make sure each student has someone to play with and encourage others to do the same.
