Week 6 at ACHS

Last week at ACHS we finished our unit on trust. Students started off the week having discussions around trust, and they began thinking about the different types of relationships in their lives. They were then encouraged to think about who they trust in their lives and why. Students brainstormed how to build trust and then designed posters representing behaviors that build trust and behaviors that destroy trust. Students then completed a team building activity where they broke out into small groups and designed and built bridges out of various materials including popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners and cardboard. Students then tested out the strength of their bridges with jenga block. Students finished off the week discussing culture. Students were asked to come up with working definitions of culture. Students were encouraged to think about their own identities and the role that their culture plays in their identity, which led into our discussion on classroom culture.
