Buddy Classes in Flyertime

Two Flyertimes get together for a little friendly competition and team-building (and maybe a little bit of stinky feet!).  Students line up by Flyertime class, run to the pile one at a time to find and put on their shoes; when that student finishes, they run back to their line, tag the next student to do the same and continue until everyone has on their shoes. Which class will get their shoes on first? 

"Flying Right" with Flyertime Name Games

Students practice learning names with the added value of respect by looking one another in the eye and saying "Thank you" upon receiving the bean bag!

Students engage with one another by saying names in conjunction with an action.  Practice makes success!

Using Name Tags in Flyertime

Using the name tags made in the first Flyertime helps to build a community where everyone knows each other!

Flyertime Class Meeting

Flyertime activities provided through Sparksnotes are just suggestions - if you have great ideas in keeping with the current Flyertime focus, please use them.  Here's a great example of a class meeting in progress.

Starting the School Year "Flying Right!"

The goal of this Day 1 activity was to set a tone for the classroom: in this classroom students will investigate, collaborate, problem-solve and follow directions. 

Great Flyertime Seating

Check out this Flyertime seating arrangement!  Moving 6 tables together is a great way to get students to collaborate and dialogue.
