Half of the students went out to the Huasteca Canyon to play games and have fun. What a beautiful place to be!!! 

They played Chuck the Chicken, a fun game to get you running around and giggling.  Then they played Shrinking World, a team problem solving game,  and they did something called a Trust Fall, to practice trust.  We ended up with Human Pyramids.  It was amazing being surrounded by the striking mountains while we played our games and had fun together. 

That night the kids enjoyed some free time after dinner playing tetherball, basketball, football, singing, and roasting marshmallows. It was cool just hanging out with friends at the Huasteca Campus and sleeping in the school.

While half of the students were in the canyon doing games, the other half were on campus doing team activities. One game we played was Keep it Up, where the whole team worked together keeping the balls in the air, first one ball, then two, then three, and so on! Great teamwork! Another activity was The Living Portrait. That was a team challenge where the kids recreated a portrait using only themselves and random supplies like paper, tape and props. Another team activity was creating a time cheer, a team name and a banner! The students showed terrific team spirit and lots of artistic talent !!

After a full day of games and activities the kids were hungry!! Fortunately, the kids who were in charge of preparing the food for everyone had been busy at work dividing up the food on the plates, icing the cupcakes and organizing everything so we could all eat. It was a lot of fun and filled with practical problem solving too!! The quote of the day was?. ?so we really do use math!?
