Creating Activities
At Northside school any child that wishes to can create an activity. When students create an activity they do it on a tiered basis and one that includes several disciplines. First an objective that they want to teach is chosen by the student. This is an objective that they have decided upon, and is the main reason to participate in the activity. This activity can range from dynamic to static objectives, or those more specific such as locomotor skills,spatial awareness or cardiovascular endurance among others.

The students develop their activities using the objective (or objectives) of their choosing and any equipment that they would use with their activity. They brainstorm their activity and discuss it with Mr. Dekeon and then refine the activity, making sure it includes all of their objectives and emphasizing that it is a safe and all inclusive activity that has a minimum amount of down time. After their activity is finished the students "teach" (Under guidance of course), the activity to their class and one other class, the student chooses. The class(s) then brainstorm constructive things they would like to see the activity include. The last piece is for the students to develop a story or poem that describes their activity. As you will see below the stories and activities are exciting, creative, and imaginative to say the least! Each student receives a certificate. 
"Way to go guys keep those thinking caps on!"
