BHS Science teacher Morgan Burns is taking her Integrated Science class back to the elementary school.
“This project has been going on for a long time for our 10th graders,” Burns said.
“Last year this project was a blast for them,” Burns said. “Everyone had a really good time and enjoyed it so much.”
Burns talked to Primary Center PE teacher Kara Roland at the PC and during their time all the 1st graders in her class go outside so they can do the obstacles that we set for them.
“Roland helped us get all the equipment that we needed for obstacles.,’’ Burns said
Burns students are the ones giving the 1st graders their PE time.
Burns students normally do this event on a Thursday or a Friday
“This is the most fun project that her kids like doing in her class,” Burns said.
The upperclassmen like going over to the PC and interacting with the 1st graders and playing with them.
“The PC kids really like when the upperclassmen talk to them and play with them and help them get through the obstacle,’’ Burns said. “Anytime when the little kids get beat up by the high schoolers it puts a smile on the little kids and makes their day.”
It takes the upperclassmen five days to prepare for their obstacle course. Burns helps the students get ready by helping them calculate speed and distances. Burns also helps them by reminding them that they are 1st graders and finding events for them to do.
“The upperclassmen have one day to run through their obstacle course and to see if there are any errors or corrections that they need to fix or repair,” Burns said “The funnest in her class is to learn and teach us and to also have fun at the same time,” Burns said.
