Do YOU think that extracurricular activities are just as important as “regular” classes such as history, math, science, etc? by Ivy O'Brien https://padlet.com/ilobrien422/Bookmarks Explain your reasoning en-us 2021-05-04 20:21:24 UTC 2021-05-04 22:04:14 UTC hello@padlet.com YES! https://padlet.com/ilobrien422/Bookmarks/wish/1491774112 Extracurriculars are great for teaching communication skills, leadership skills, and keeping the student engaged. When they are engaged in school extracurriculars, they get a sense of belonging and take pride in their school spirit, therefore motivating them to

It pushes you out of your comfort zone, forces you to not only meet new people but work with them, and has the possibility to teach you something new. ]]> 2021-05-04 21:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ilobrien422/Bookmarks/wish/1491783615 Interesting Question megp2 https://padlet.com/ilobrien422/Bookmarks/wish/1491794572 If we think in terms of learning, they are definitely as important, if not more. They are the only reason many kids stay in school at all. I wonder about how we might make the rest of school more like extracurriculars. They are great for teachers as well because they give us a different way of interacting with students in a setting where we can feel as if we are working together towards common goals. They are vital on so many levels. ]]> 2021-05-04 21:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ilobrien422/Bookmarks/wish/1491794572 Yes I do. https://padlet.com/ilobrien422/Bookmarks/wish/1491861223 Having extracurricular activities are not only fun and important but necesssary. I think by having outlets for students to express themselves, they can not only expand their social circles to find like-minded people, but also can understand themselves in ways that school classes sometimes cannot access. But it is a shame that schools don't think the same way, particularly relating to the arts. ]]> 2021-05-04 22:02:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ilobrien422/Bookmarks/wish/1491861223
