Week 3

The Macker Class Becomes a Macker Team

While the professors are away, the students will play! This Thursday was team bonding day led by our amazing teaching assistants. It was an opportunity for us all to loosen up a bit and talk about who we are outside of the classroom to help us inside the classroom as we continue this adventure together. 

This class period we were introduced to the Spirit Stick. The Spirit Stick is completely Macked out, and it is our duty to sign it and take a selfie with another Finch Fanatic who isn't in this class. Then we pass it to a Finch Fanatic who is in RPL 333SL. This special, little honor is another way we can share the excitement throughout Finch Fieldhouse and beyond.

The first activity we did was a game called Snowball. We each took half a sheet of paper and wrote something most everyone probably knows about us, something a few people might know about us, and something no one knows about us. Then all of the papers were crinkled into balls and thrown in the middle of our circle. When everyone had collected a new paper ball, we took turns reading and guessing who the person was that authored the paper we picked up. 

The second activity we did was the Human Knot, except we did it in group of 3's and raced each other! Team 3 was the winner in that activity.

Our third activity was a game called All My Friends and I. We each put one paper "snowball" at our feet, except for the one person who was in the middle of our circle. That person would say, "All my friends and I like to...", and if you were someone who liked to do that activity or loved that thing, you had to run to a new spot in the circle. If you couldn't find a new spot, you had to go into the middle and say something you and your friends like. 

T.O (Tim Otteman) and Brittany provide an unparalleled passion for Gus Macker, but after class on Thursday, they're going to have to step up their game because we are all fired up and closer than ever as a team!
