I wonder how they got to be in which class? Some kids might be better suited for, say, Jason's PACTivity and some more for ODE, and visa versa. I wonder if there can be some switching around, or if that's just too difficult to orchestrate?

The weather was excellent for outdoor activities. And, the students got to move and connect SO MUCH!

Large classes. Not being able to actually create specific movement curriculums because the class assignments were so random. I'd love to be able to design a course, such as Scooters and Skates OR a Dance class where the students choose to be in it and can grow as practitioners over the course of the semester. A more organized approach to PACTivity brings a meaningfulness to movement practice that I personally felt lacking this semester.

PACTivity has so much potential. I agree with others that students should be split up based on selecting specific elective offerings that connect to wellness and/or the PACT. Students enjoy the "low-stakes" learning environment.

I would love to have a PACTivity unit/course on gardening but the garden in the round-about is death and would require heavy machinery and hard labor to clear out and begin again.

Finding activities that everyone agreed on, feeling challenged when a students didn't want to do the planned activity,  I tried to have my Pactivity be more improv and cooperative games but there were a couple students who were NOT interested in this so it made it challenging,

I wonder if there is a way to incorporate student choice back into PACTivity (may be challenging with scheduling PACTivities all throughout the day).

The mixing of the different grades allows a cohesion to develop across the middle school student population.

PACTivity truly embraces the city as a classroom philosophy.

There has also been excellent collaboration between guides.

I enjoyed the B1 slot with regards to it being in the cooler part of the day however the desire to combine PACTivity with visits to say the library were thwarted by the late opening times for such places. Only Whole Foods and Starbucks seem to be open at that time in the morning! This has limited things somewhat.

I agree with earlier comments about student choice and preferences. Some want to play active sports, others are keen to participate in nature walks and more gentle activities. Can there be some form of selection process?

Combining PACTivity groups has allowed some division of activities to accommodate different needs/desires of students; two guides allows for different activities to take place simultaneously.

Not giving the kids a choice as they often choose least resistance or opting out--giving them two choices that were active. Coming in with a good attitude with the kids. also: no need to answer silly questions. Importance of explaining why. Glad kids are looking forward to being in my PACTivity.

PACTivity has tons of potential. I wonder if there is a way that groups can be combined to allot for an experience that is less stressful for the guide in terms of planning while also allowing for multiple interests to be explored on those given days.
