Congratulations Mrs. Burry!!!


On the first day of school, Mrs. Burry’s fifth graders kicked off the year with an exciting and interactive icebreaker: "Getting to Know You" Jenga. This creative twist on the classic game was designed to help students become acquainted with one another in a fun and engaging way.

Each Jenga block featured a unique question or prompt, such as “Would you rather roller skate or ride a bike?” or “What TV show do you like to watch?.” As students took turns removing a block from the tower, they answered the question or responded to the prompt before carefully placing the block on top. The game encouraged students to share personal insights and helped them practice active listening and speaking in front of others.

The “Getting to Know You” Jenga game was a resounding success, setting a positive tone for the year ahead. Students enjoyed discovering common interests and learning new things about their classmates, which helped build a supportive and friendly classroom environment from day one. The activity was an excellent way to break the ice and foster a sense of community among the students, laying a strong foundation for collaboration and friendship throughout the school year.
