ROCK Boot Camp
This week my ROCK group decided to have a "boot camp" week. We started out the week with each student being a drill sergeant for one minute. Today, we participated in a pilates video. It was funny watching the kids and seeing how tired they were by the end. It sounded like they had fun while doing it because they asked to do more tomorrow!

Vocabulary Review
In preparation for our upcoming vocabulary test, we had a scavenger hunt to review the words. It was fun watching the kids run around trying to find the words and definitions.

Teamwork
This past week we have been working on our team building skills. The students have become very upset and frustrated at times with how hard the activity is, but by the end of the week they were starting to work as a team. I'm hoping that through this week the students feel tighter as a group and we will be able to discuss and do things more serious next semester.

Elf Yourself
Ms. Engstrom sent me this site where you could put your face, or someone else's face, in the body of an elf and watch them dance. I thought this was highly comical, so I decided to try it out with a few of my students. Let's just say we had quite a few laughs Thursday in class! Here are the links. Try it out yourself!
