This is the way it is at school too. The cook knows how to
make big batches of recipes. The custodian knows how to run the furnace, and the
principal knows how to get the money to run the school. During the week,
different school workers will be talking to us about their teamwork. Label a
paper sack “School Worker Team.” Cut slips of paper to put into the sack. On
each slip of paper write the name of a school worker. Omit those not found in
your school. Add those not found on this list.

schedules.

her work, have this person draw a slip from the “School Worker Team” sack. This
person then (1) reads aloud the name of the worker written on the slip of paper
and (2) tells how his or her own work, schedule, etc., relative to that
worker’s.
