This week was a little different in regards to the scheduling due to testing, so we went with the flow and had some solid team bonding! Here is a photo of my winning team from period 2 where the kids competed for the tallest and most sturdy spaghetti tower made out of raw spaghetti and marshmallows. However, when the timer went off the kids had to remove their hands from supporting their structure and shortly after this photo it collapsed and they lost, lol!!! But they received honorary points for creativity and ambitious effort. Planning and communicating were both a huge part of this activity. It was awesome to see them having fun together and getting to know kids who they had not had a chance to speak to yet this year.
Speaking of teams, this week my classes all voted on the names of their classes. Here were the winners that will be featured on the back of our YESS ACHS shirts:
2nd block- Team Okurrrt
3rd block- Team Shullissa
4th block- Team Let's Get This Bread
6th block- Team That One Class
7th block- Team Snapples
We also voted on T Shirt Designs. There were 9 finalists, all AMAZING pieces of art, but there was one that won the votes by a landslide:
Lastly, after PSAT testing, my senior adopted daughters were given candy and little Halloween cards I made them before break. I love my little children/soon-to-be-graduates! I can't believe we are already done with the first quarter of the school year... Before we know it it's going to be summer! Time really does fly around here. (plz see featured jack-o-lantern socks)
Stay warm! And have a restful break eagles.
Until next time,
Ms. C
