Chignik Lagoon School Blog: Volleyball

Last week we went to the Volleyball Jamboree in Port Heiden. We played a lot of games and did some other activities. We did a service project, where we went out and picked up trash. Port Heiden is known to have glass balls wash up on their beaches all the time. I never found one.

The glass balls are what the Japanese used to keep their nets afloat. They wash up on beaches and people find them.

I got to help with teaching a lesson to the K-5^th graders at Port Heiden because I am a part of iLead. We taught them about kindness and read them the book The Giving Tree by Shel Silerstein. After the book we did a small coloring activity, where they colored a giving tree and put an apple on it that had a small act of kindness. We then told them that every time their teacher saw them being kind, they would get an apple on their tree.

We also did a session with the high school students about Red Ribbon Week. We talked about the myths and facts about tobacco, and then we did a couple of activities with them. One activity was we had them close their eyes, and we poured popcorn kernels into a metal bowl, so they could hear how many went in. Each popcorn kernel represented someone who died. One amount was how many people died from car crashes, another was how many people died from alcohol,and the last was how many people died from tobacco use. The next activity was we had everyone run in place and sing happy birthday twice. After that we had everyone breath through coffee stirring straws.

After that, everyone went and picked up trash. We did play a lot of games. Chignik Lake A team won first place and we got second place. Port Heiden White team got third.
