Innovation Visits Challenge Discovery:
Sixth and seventh grade students began the year in Innovation with some team building lessons. These lessons were designed to help students get to know each other and begin and/or continue to develop new friendships. Upon completion of the in-class lessons, students traveled to the Eastern Henrico Recreation Center to put their skills into action with the help of Challenge Discovery. Students played games and problem- solved, working together to meet and overcome a variety of challenges. See some pictures from the day below:
If we can be of any assistance, please reach out! Please be sure to continue to read the Wilder communications that come out weekly from Mrs. Segar. We will be back at the end of October with our next update!
