How? 1- Interacting Outcomes: INS1.3; Develops positive relationships with peers and other people. Listens and responds to others When students hold hands to form the nets they must listen to each others instruction and physically work together to catch the fish. 2- Decision making Outcomes: DMS1.2; Recalls past experiences in making decisions.
