BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
JAM SESSION: Ridgeans in Grade 4 were thrilled to participate in the Just a Minute (JAM) activity. Students shared their views with their peers on topics selected using the ‘Colorful Wheel’. The activity helped the students in improving their fluency, accuracy, organization of thoughts and time management skills.
