My favorite activity was the maze. The beginning of The Maze was fun because, that was when we had to figure out the path. Once we figured out the path Matthew directed everyone because he memorized the path. After that other people stepped up and helped directing people. Hog Call was fun too. During Hog Call Mrs. Lopez put words on our backs and we had to find our pare without talking. That was tricky but then we figured out a strategy. Our strategy was Kali matches people while everyone stands in a line. This worked well  but the words were hard to match. The other one was The Marble Challenge. This challenge was hard because we had to put a marble in a cup across the room. We could only make it travel with gravity and in small tubes. My group did not complete it.

I was successful as a friend and team member because all of the lobsters were working together and being supportive for each other.  We all came up with ideas and worked towards the goal. We were successful because we completed two of the three activities. As a friend I was successful because we all worked together and had fun doing it.

I was successful as a teammate when I helped direct people in the right directions during the maze and when I helped with solutions to the marble challenge. As a friend I didn’t get mad at someone when they made a mistake, I felt a little disappointed but I wouldn’t make them feel bad about their mistake. I think Charger Trails helped me work more with my advisory and learn to cooperate with them.

I was successful today at charger trails by working and collaborating with the other students. A lot of the ideas and suggestions from other students resulted in the team reaching the goals. In the maze activity, some of the students were leaders and pointed team members in the right direction through the maze and the rest followed the ideas. In the tube activity, lots of people had many great ideas to finish the path from the start to the cup, but we needed more practice to complete one of them. In the hog call activity, the team had different ideas to match the two people in a group, we tried all of them and it resulted with us reaching the goal. Throughout all of the activities, the team was open to suggestions and there no one dictating ideas. I learned that trying others ideas is a good way to reach a goal.

We were successful as a team because during the Marble Challenge experiment, we had to connect the tubes in a way to make them work. We had to do a lot of experimenting. During Hog Call, we each had a thing taped to our backs and had to find our pair, which meant we had to go around without speaking, and others tried to tell you what you were with hand motions or by just pointing towards the one that matched yours. The second round of Hog Call was different then the first round. We all lined up and had one person match everyone into pairs. The other game we did was The Maze. It was interesting, since you had to step on all the cubes and there was only one solution. It was kind of frustrating when one kid messed up, but we had to work as a team to make sure everybody eventually got it correct.

As a group during charger trails, we were mostly successful.  I found that gestures usually worked well when doing challenges that you weren’t allowed to talk in.  During the maze,  I also found it helpful to try to do exactly as the people who were guiding it pointed, because if I had not,  I would have stepped in the wrong square and my whole team would have had to start over. During Hog Call, I found that it helped to trust the people telling me to pare up with someone else.  Our group was mostly successful in everything we did, except for the last activity,where we had to carry the marble across the floor, through pipes.

I find I was a successful team member during the Charger Trails. I cheered my advisory on, and helped them get through challenges. I feel proud to say that my advisory cheered me on while I was unsure what to do in some of the challenges.

I feel like I was a successful friend because I was kind to everybody, and respected everybody’s ideas. I tried everybody’s ideas, and figured out more successful ideas from them.

I had a lot of fun with my advisory, and especially loved our teamwork.

Charger Trail was a great experience. We worked together and tried to figure out difficult puzzles such as hogs call, the maze, and marble challenge. I cheered my friends on and thought of new ideas for figuring out hard problems. My favorite game was the maze. I helped show people which square to go in and cheered people on when they finished. It was frustrating when people messed up because everyone had to start over, but it happens. I think I was very successful on both a friend and a team member.

I was successful as a friend and because on the hog call I was paring people up with other people and I was a good friend at the maze when I got to help other people through the maze. During the hog call I found that the gestures sometimes were helpful but not all of the time. I think that They were helpful when you had already found your partner and you were trying to figure what word you were.  The marble challenge was really hard and we worked very well as a group, we tried a lot of things. They all would have worked if we had more practice.

While participating in charger trails I feel that I was a great team member and friend. While doing the maze I feel that I was a great leader. After I had finished (which I was the first one) I pointed to the squares which everyone had to pass through to successfully accomplish the task. I felt that during the marble challenge I was a good freeing and team member by encouraging peoples ideas and coming up with some of my own ideas. Overall I thought that it was a great experience.

I think I was a good team member and friend. In the maze challenge in the hallway I stepped up and was a leader to the group but halfway through I took a break because my back was hurting from leaning over and pointing for so long. I was also a friend during the marble challenge because I listened to other peoples ideas and let them do them. I think I did a good job with the charger trails challenges and grew as a team member and friend.
