Away basketball games after school today, so school emptied out faster than a pan of brownies at a potluck! For some reason, school is super quiet right now, quieter than usual. Maybe it's the lack of wind outside. Or the light dusting of snow.
It certainly wasn't quiet at noon recess today! The girls spent the majority of recess dribbling basketballs, then shocking each other and screaming. It was a bit scientific... they tested whether different surfaces would zap them... the floor, the wall, the bleachers, a headband. In the last three minutes of recess they decided to start a scrimmage, but they dinked around shocking each other so long they only played for about a minute!
I already changed my lesson plans for this week. Instead of doing a NASA space activity, we finished up the STEM project I had my 5th and 6th graders doing Friday. Half the groups finished today: their chairs successfully held "baby bear" for a minute. One group had a few chair legs that didn't touch the floor unless they were carefully arranged. Another group's chair was so low to the ground (it had balled up paper for legs) that they had to glue straws underneath to keep the soup can from bending the paper to touch the table. But it held for one minute!
