Weekly Regulation Practice - Partner Drawing
With a partner and one sheet of paper, take turns drawing a line or shape, silently passing the paper back and forth for one minute. When the minute is up, talk, laugh and explore what you've created together. This is a fun way to build cooperation and collaboration!
All of the regulation strategies we’ve been practicing this year can be found on our school website.
