Channing Hall helps set world record!

Channing Hall last month helped set a World record in......Speed Stacking!

So how many people were needed to "stack" for a world record?
The final number being submitted to Guinness World Records® for "Most People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations in One Day" is 316,757 representing 1,627 schools and organizations from 25 countries. We helped make it happen!

Thanks to Rosanne Delaney who organized the activity. She has been incorporating stacking in brain gym to stimulate brain activity. Stacking improves hand-eye coordination and reaction time by up to 30 percent. Sport stacking helps students develop bilateral proficiency equal performance on both sides of the body. By increasing bilateral proficiency, a student develops a greater percentage of the right side of the brain, which houses awareness, focus, creativity and rhythm.

IB TOY STORY

Here's a neat blog about an IB teacher in Australia using IB PYP inquiry around learning about and designing their own toys. I find this very relevant in this season of buying. It would be neat seeing our kids delving into the background of toys and their meaning a bit more. Maybe it might make them think just a little more about what they are getting in a couple of days. Just saying.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

Channing Hall Performing Arts- Presents:

ONCE UPON A MATTRESS
A two thumbs up for our own performing arts team tonight at Midvale Middle School. This was a hilarious, cute and enchanting musical that made the one hour performance, over, way too soon. Shelby Evans as Princess Winnifred (Fred) and Winter Brailow as Queen Aggravain did a magnificent job playing the lead roles in the musical adaptation of the story of The Princess and the Pea. Charming supporting roles by Nicholas Nord, Douglas Pahl and the rest of the CH cast made for an endearing time. Our 2nd and 4th grade boys loved it!

ONE MORE CHANCE! They will be performing again tomorrow night at the Midvale Middle School at 7 pm.

DON'T MISS IT! TAKE THE FAMILY!

IB Video on Middle Years Program

Here's a great video explaining the MYP IB years and what we are working to accomplish. It accompanies the prior post on the PYP years. I'd love to make a similar video with our students since I know our student get it.

VIDEO EXPLAINING IB

Here's a great video that helps explain in a simple but touching way what IB is and why we at Channing Hall are so dedicated to this method of learning. It's nice to see others around the world get it too. Its even more touching when we see the children get it and can reflect on what they are learning. Refer your family and friends to this when they have a question of what we are trying to accomplish through IB.

Veterans Day Video

What a wonderful and touching Veterans Day celebration CHAPS put on! We had several veterans of Channing Hall family and friends come to the assembly so that we could honor them. It is was a touching and heart felt tribute for our children to experience and learn the meaning of serving, honor and respect. Thank you all who participated. For those that missed it check out some highlights on the video
