inventors. Each we take a few minutes to think and

add items to our generated lists of problems to

solve in the world or things that could make our

lives easier or more effective. Discuss some at

home for your child to add to the list at school.

This week’s mini break was to discuss a possible

real world problem to promote creative thinking

skills and teamwork. “What if kids had their own

exclusive Internet?”

Here at the South Campus of DAS we have finished up our Soccer unit. This week we re-

viewed all of the skills and rules involved with the sport. We also had an assessment on soc-

cer kicking. Students were assessed on their soccer kicking skills via the TGMD-2 checklist

rubric. Popular activities this week included Mini soccer games, shooting on the goalies, and

passing with a partner. Lastly, we also had a Health lesson on Fire Safety. We watched a vid-

eo, had a discussion, then completed a worksheet.
