It was great to be back at school today. The students were excited to share all the fun things they got for Christmas. In social studies we talked about how to solve problems with friends. Students learned to calm down, talk things out, come up with a plan, and then try it out. When there's a squabble about who gets to do something first, we decided that rock-paper-scissors is the easiest way to resolve the problem. Students tried out their problem solving skills as they played a card game with a partner. They played Top-It (what is commonly called War, but we can't call it that at school).
