Mr. Atkin's Class Hike
We start out the beginning of the year really working on team work and cooperation. One of the best ways, Mr. Atkin's fourth -grade class does this is through a faith hike. They go up on the mountain behind the school and become a guide. A guides job, is to help their partners, through communication and caring, to get past all the obstacles put there by mother nature. One student is blindfolded and the guide student, helps the blind along the trail. At the half way point they switch rolls. We talk about trust, communication, and caring.
