We popped the first balloon today. Tomorrow's special activity: chew gum in the morning. The 5th graders were very adamant that I chew gum with them tomorrow because "It's a privilege for everyone! Even the teachers!" Ms. J was sick today so they wanted me to let her know so she'd be prepared.
This morning I cut up the jicama. It is the consistency of an apple/potato and tastes pretty much like garden peas with a slight dirt aftertaste. There was a bunch left so the 2nd graders and the 7th and 8th graders got a taste. Overall, opinions were split 50/50 on whether it tastes good or not.
More Mystery Class locations are being found. I think I've discovered all 10 of them; the students like to check their answers with mine to see if they're right. The 5th graders are catching on to the tricks/methods of solving the clues. The boys are using the longitude data and a map to find the cities. The girls are using key words and pictures in the clues to look up locations on the internet. Everything is due Friday... time is running out!
