Today I walked into Mr. K.'s 6th grade class and they were reading a story. He was reading to them with a ton of enthusiasm, They were extremely interested in the story and couldn't wait to hear what was going to happen next. After he was finished he told them they have 15 seconds to clean of their desks for a chance to earn more blocks The kids were mostly successful and it was a good motivator for the kids to listen. He has these blocks so they can earn a field trip for themselves, if they get enough. He told them he felt that they were doing much better with their listening then they have in the past. He asked them if they agreed and they said yes.
After that it was time for P.E. so he explained to them that they will be playing a game called "Dr.,Dr". Its just like dodge ball, except when you get out you have a chance to be redeemed by the Dr. and you are in the game again. We headed over to the gym and they got into teams. I was on one team and he was on the other. Of course they thought for some reason I was going to be good at this game and had me be the Dr. little did I know that when we started to play someone hit me with a ball and I was out. I guess when you are the doctor and you get out there is no more Dr. I think the kids were pretty disappointed at that.
Everyone was playing with team effort and were really enjoying the game. After that we headed back to the class room and got the science stuff ready. There were three groups of kids and each had a spot light which was supposed to be the sun. They each had a globe with a light energy meter on it. They headed to the gym to work on there science papers and they worked really well together trying to figure out the questions. The kids were all participating and helping each other out.
