The crazy contiued today with the kids coming back hopped up on whatever they did this past week.
This morning we had a decent morning meeting with a share on Mortal Fears that ran the gammut from jellyfish to time- some of the kids professed to be afraid of nothing but I think they just were tired or wanted to get on with the game. We talked a long time and then did the morning announcements- we will be going to Feed My Starving Children next week and the Science Fair is this week.
We then played SPUD! and most of the kids loved the game- alot of them liked to get pegged with the ball for some reason. Tomorrow we play kickball and hope to come in second so that we can be triumphant once again. The study hall was crazy but the kids did eventually calm down enough for me to grade the 40 notecard assignment and Kristin to run the room. E-Core is getting more and more useless.
The Science Fair is this week but we didn't get a format for the posters or even supplies to do the posters so the kids are lacking motivation and without the stuff I am telling them to do the work on lined paper that we will transfer when we get the supplies. Class was interesting. We had to institute assigned seats and give about a gagilion breaks and they were still crazy bad- however I found out that the whole house was off the wall and not just our class- makes you feel a little better. I taught informational paragraph format and then the kids had time to do their reading on the 1930s.
They also met in their project groups to ask questions about what would be happening for the next few days of work time. They will have work time starting Wednesday and extending through next Tuesday. They will then do the 1940s and 1950s and present their projects.
