Tennis instruction continued in the large gym with this group of students having their first lesson of the school year. As always, they practiced fundamental tennis skills through a series of challenges and games. Students were rapidly rotated through tasks in a way that kept them motivated and happy to be there.

Here are five pictures of the students in a kind of knockout game. Students hit balls across the nets and if they missed landing their shot within bounds on the other side, or their ball was caught by people on the other side, they had to join the catching group. Eventually all the students ended up on the catching side. Definitely a fun game.

After the students had finished a math test, they had the option of playing a fraction game. They paired up and took turns rolling dice to derive fractions. Each students fractions had to be matched with ones listed on a "golf" scoring sheet. The student who checked off the full list of fractions on the sheet first became the winner. The game provided a good opportunity to test their understanding of fractions and to help their partner improve their understanding if needed.

There is only one Walking Wednesday in December and it falls on December 6th. As away to celebrate December as the Month of Code at St. Albans City School, the makerspace staff are offering you a chance to program and guide little rolling robots to school. To learn more about the robots and this opportunity, go to this website.
