During Discovery Day, Discovery’s advisories gathered to participate in interactive activities. This competition included six people in each advisory that went against each other in a relay on dollies. Participants pushed their teammates to the other end of the gym and back. The first team to finish won.
“Many of the kids loved it,and even the teachers thought it was fun,” said Ms. Foster, a 7th grade math teacher.
The important part of Discovery Day is to bring the entire team together for unity. One of the organizers always try to think of a new game for each quarter (which is the time they hold each Discovery day). One of the organizers, Mrs. Foster, told us that Discovery Day is an important part of team Discovery.
“Discovery team events bring everyone together and bring team spirit,” stated Ms. Foster.
Discovery kids always look forward to these exciting events. These events were started because of the heritage of team activities at the school. It also gave teachers the ability to better get to know their students and their assets, plus the chance to get to meet their parents.
“Team events such as Discovery Day build relationships among students and make students feel like they're truly part of a team,” explained Mrs. Carey.
These events are planned by your team teachers who will pitch in to ensure that you will enjoy your event. Discovery Day is just one of the many team building activities students will have during this year.
