My First Week Back

The educational experience that I liked during my short 3 days back from break was something we did in PE. What my class did was a kind of "breaking down the walls" activity where we had to organize ourselves by birthday, height, then age without talking. This made us work together by only using hand motions and eye contact, something we all found very hilarious. Then we formed 2 massive circles in which we introduced ourselves to our peers. Periodically the circle rotated so we could meet other people and it was fun to listen to the variety of things people had to say. Now you may ask, how is this educational? Well we learned more about our peers and we learned more about how we ourselves interact with each other when we are "forced" to talk to one another. That for me, a valuable lesson I will keep in mind for the future.
