It’s the end of the year, so I’ve been a bit busy wrapping things up at school. Saying goodbye to my second graders is sad as always, but I’m excited to get to know my first graders better, because since they’re becoming second graders, I’ll see them once a week instead of once every two weeks.
Because it’s the last class, I’m gathering data for my winter camp class, which is going to be dating themed. The main activity is going to be a family-feud style game, where they have to guess the five most popular answers to questions, but the catch is the boy classes have to guess the girl classes’ answers, and vice versa. I’ve been asking every class 15 questions and tallying up the answers. Many of them are fairly predictable, like “Girls Generation” for best singer (boys) or “Tall” for most important quality in a significant other (girls) but sometimes individual students surprise me. For example, today SW became one of my favorite students in class 1.6A (1st grade boys, 15 – 16 years old) by announcing that his favorite English language movie was “Matilda.”
