This week in TA we began talking about social skills, what they are, how they are used in school and life, and why the are important. Here's the scenario we started our discussion with: You walk into a room with about 40 people in it, all talking in pairs or small groups, what do you do? The students' answers were such a wide range, it was so fun to see just how different we all are. They ranged from "I'd walk right back out of that room," to "I'd probably just find a person and start talking to them." We talked about how we have to honor those differences and remember that all of us have different skills to bring to the table. We also spent the week playing a game called Shrinking World. It required social skills, teamwork, and communication and cooperation. Ask your student about this game, it was tough and we still have to try it again. There are pictures below. We ended out week with Fun Friday. Mrs. Allen's TA joined us and we played board games for our TA time. It was fun to play with another TA. We had all sorts of games, including Life, Uno, Cup Stacking, Sorry, Battleship and many more! Pictures are below. In other news- please remember to bring your student with you to conferences next week. These conferences will be led by them! They have lots to show you.
