So much depends upon our ability to trust! For Fabulously Fun Friday, we did an activity that would help us build trust with our writing partners. Students took turns being blindfolded while their partners challenged them and kept them safe. We started by walking together holding hands, that lead to skipping and running, and then finally reaching a place where we could let go and run through the darkness.
This experience was so powerful, we decided to do it again and again with different friends!
After this experience, students shared how they started off feeling nervous and maybe not trusting their partners fully. But now, on such a beautifully deep level, they know they can trust one another.
All year, we will rely on each other for support and encouragement. The trust we now have will enable us to work together in more meaningful ways. The trust we gained is something we will always be able to hold onto. It was a beautiful way to end our week together!
Watching the kids encourage & support one another was magical!
