Girls on the Run

Girls on the Run ~ Fall 2006

5th & 6th graders

This group of upper elementary girls gained a lot from the program. Their self confidence blossomed in front of our eyes throughout the program.

I learned a lot about management during this season. Being on task was a challenge with this group so I developed a system of "Team Management" to help with behaviors. Each day we had 3 awards: Outstanding Effort, Team Player, and Most Positive and because every girl is a winner they each got a sticker for the days great work!
The girls responded positively and improved their behaviors greatly!

The young ladies formed a true team despite grade level, prior friendship and common interests! I was so proud of how they came together to be a cooperative and supportive team!
