Adventure Teams
This semester, we’ll be working closely with our peers in learning teams.
Teams will change each unit.
Before we settle into our first teams, let’s spend the next few days tackling short activities at the beginning of class with rotating groups of peers.
This will give me a chance to observe group dynamics before setting up our teams.

Working with your assigned teammates, follow directions below for the Challenge of the Day
