Fun Friday!

Last Friday we had our first official 'fun Friday'.  This is a 30 minute block in our afternoon every other or every few Friday's.  During this block we offer the students of our community the opportunity to make a choice of what activity they would like to participate in for that block of time.  Each teacher in our community plans an activity or craft.  These crafts are sometimes themed around the season or holiday that we are currently in.  So, most of the themes this past week were around fall.  Fun Friday is an opportunity for students to meet other teachers, mentor and be mentored by peers younger and older then them, and practice listening and direction following skills.  Also, most projects will help increase fine motor skills and creative thinking!  On top of this, fun Friday is a chance for students to simply, have fun!!!  Here are some pictures of some of the activities that students on Learning Lane participated in last Friday.
