The Wall!
Considering our values that we developed earlier in the year, how did these activities promote what we wanted our class to be about and what are some of the things that we still need to work on? The catagories where Social, Emotional, and Physical. To get the words that we used for each of the catagories refer to the blog on september 18th.

social- we need to support eachother more once we get over the wall
ReplyDeleteemotional- i think our effort to inspire was good and we need to keep it up
physical- u def need upper body strength for this one...maybe no more cheating on push-ups?
Physical: we needed the strength to pull ourselves up and the two people in the middle needed a lot to carry all of us over
ReplyDeleteEmotional: People starting to conquer their fear of heights
Social: We supported eachothers' ideas, and worked together.

some people had more upper body strength which was an advantage to them to get over the bigger wall, but for everyone else the encouragement our class gave each climber was awesome and i give credit to kelsey and jesse for lifting everyone over!! a lot of people conquered fears and im happy most of our class got over!!
ReplyDelete-marlo (:
social: we needed to be able to encourage our classmates as they tried to get over the wall
ReplyDeleteemotional: everyone who went over the wall had to trust the people helping them that they wouldn't let them fall
physical: you needed upper body strength to be able toget over the second wall, and the people who helped in between the walls also had to have physical strength.

social: we supported eachother and encouraged one another to get over the wall.
ReplyDeleteemotional: people needed to overcome their fear of heights and trust the two people in the middle to help you get over.
physical: you needed to have the arm strength to get over the wall or push yourself over.
social: we had to listen to each other to get ideas on the best way to get over the wall and support people as they went over.
ReplyDeleteemotional: we had to trust ourselves that we could make it over safely and the people who helped us over.
physical: we needed some upper body strength to pull ourselves over, along with the people in the middle.

we socially encouraged eachother and emotionally cared for eachother's safety and well-being because people were helping get them over... and physically i had a blast jumping from the low beam straight onto the big one--it's prolly from the weight training H has us doing..HAHAH
ReplyDeletewe still need to work on trusting eachother.
--sheila lo
social:We cheered for our classmates that got over and for the ones that didn't but still tried thier hardest.
ReplyDeleteemotional:Some people, me included, got alittle scared when we were on the high bar and when I heard my classmates comforting me I felt stronger.
physical: You deffinitly needed your upper body muscle to pull yourself over the last bar.

:) soo for social i think we did a really good job supporting eachother once we got over the wall and it made everyone feel good when we clapped for them.
ReplyDeletefor emotional i was scared because i guess i didnt completly trust kelsey and jesse completly and that made the task a lot harder for me.
and for physical i def. need to work on my upper body strength because i could barely pull myself up over the higher wall.

Physical- we all needed to put in all of our strength to pull ourselves over the bar. Some people had trouble making it over, so I think it shows that we need to work on our upper body strengths are little more.
ReplyDeleteEmotional- Slowly but surely, we are conquering our fears whether it's fear of heights or trusting other people.
Social- More people are contributing the group by sharing their ideas. It's a great thing to do since we can form a bunch of ideas into one big idea. So more ideas, the better!
Social: supporting everyone
ReplyDeleteEmotional: being able to get over our fears and being able to do something we couldn't do.
Physical: being able to left everyone and and pull yourself over.

Social-applauding when someone got over the wall was a really good idea.
ReplyDeleteEmotional-helped me get over my slight fear of heights and discomfort about close proximity to people.
Physical-gave me a bit of a work-out.
J. Benjamin
Social- everybody choosing to focus on the one single person going over the wall and giving them their complete attention
ReplyDeleteEmotional- Helping those who are afreaid of heights and giving them enough encouragement to get over the wall and rely on the people helping them
Physical- Let's face it, jumping from one wall to the next was not easy, plus you needed to have the proper arm strength to lift yourself completely over the 2nd wall
<3 Brooke
I think we're pretty tight socially. :D It seems like most people trust Kelsey and Jesse to get them to the higher wall, and for people who have gotten over to help if help is needed.
ReplyDeletePhysically... some people didn't have as much trouble as others, but the physical aspect usually wasn't the issue for the people who had trouble getting over. It was the emotional aspect - getting over the fear of heights for some - that kept people from taking that chance and coming off that second wall.
Social-I really didn't think that there was a social part of it. The people were involved as part of the team for the minute there were being carried then they were dropped off on the other side and continued to talk with their friends.
ReplyDeletePhysical- The only people really being physical were the two people in the middle but I guess we all had to pull ourselves up.
Emotional- The only emotion I saw during this was when the girls looked how high they were on the bar (scared : nervous) even then it was only for a second (except Grace lol).

Social--> We all worked together to think of one successful; strategy that worked, and almost no one had to go back =]
ReplyDeleteEmotional --> We need to encourage and support the people on the wall that are trying to get over
Physical --> Well ur arms have to be in prty good condition to get on the second wall and u have 2 have balance 2 stay ON the wall =]
By the way everybody who said that we cheered the others on are BSing to fill the social part. We all just talked once we got over
ReplyDeleteSocial: I think that the social parts was comming up with a plan in the beginning and encouraging the people who were scared to go over the wall
ReplyDeleteemotional: there were a couple of people who had a fear of either trusting people or a fear of heights during this activity but I applaud them for atleast attemting to get over the wall (if they did'nt make it)
physical: I think as a whole most people had a little trouble with getting over the last bar/wall. From this activity I think people are getting why you're making us do all those push ups.

i think we've all definately become more comfortable with eachother and stepped out of our self concious shells. they way that we all cheered for grace when she was about to go over the wall showed that we have definatley grown as a class. i know i would have never done that in the begining of the year.
ReplyDeletePS- lets have a dance party

hey!!!
ReplyDeleteOk Social- i think that the simply fact of tlking to our classmates to explain the procedure to cross the wall was involving us into the social part of the class, as well the support we had to give to some of the people in class.
Emotional- everyone was happy ofter one got over the wall. they cheered and applaud to them. at least i was feeling good for the ones who cross the wall. but i was feeling nervous about me crossing it i thought it was going to be harder than anything else.
Physical- we needed some physical effort to get the people over the wall. i personally felt not so much of a pressure or really physical energy to get the people over.
For social, we need friendliness and support. being reserved to our cliques and being closed to others isnt encouraging.
ReplyDeleteFor emotional we were so happy when once we got over the wall. the closeness and comfortability we felt with everyone went up so i didnt feel so embarassed going over the wall.
For physical, there wasnt much needed. some arm strength was involved, but we all worked together to make sure to help everyone over the wall without using much strength.
