I was fortunate enough to spend last Saturday with a fantastic group of students. I was a chaperon for Snowflake, Snowflake is a great experience for students to learn leadership skills as well as form close bonds with others.
Students from DGS and DGN, all dressed in their group colors, greeted us by singing and dancing in the gym. It was hard for students to shy away since it was so much fun. The high school students did a really nice job opening with icebreakers to make sure everyone was comfortable.
We were able to do team building activities directed by Eddie Slowikowski. He is a great motivational speaker as well as one awesome dancer!
My favorite part of the whole experience is giving warm fuzzies to students. A warm fuzzy is a piece of yarn given with a compliment or something positive. It really reminds me to give more compliments and encourage the positive behavior.
We really have a fantastic group of 7th graders and I am lucky to be their teacher!
