My students earned a reward party for good behavior (they had to be caught all doing a nice job by another staff member ten times to earn it). We spent the last hour of our day playing UNO in small groups. Many of my students were playing it for the first time. Everyone had fun, and all the students got to take home their own brand new deck of UNO cards to play with their families! We had a huge snowstorm come through a few days after our party and everyone was snowed in for a week. I suspect many families passed the time playing UNO.

We have had a massive cold front with lots of snow roll through town. We were all off school for a full week. Before we left school the day before the storm hit, I was able to pass out extra hats and gloves to all of my students. Some of them even took an additional set or two for their siblings. The hats and gloves have been invaluable this year and so many of my students use them every day. It helps reduce the financial burden on the parents, especially when hats and gloves go missing, which is all too common with kids.

The recess games have already been a hit, and I know once we return from our snow days we'll have a long stretch of indoor recess to continue to enjoy our new games. \r\n\r\nKerplunk and Charades have definitely been extremely popular. Charades has had an added surprise advantage of learning new vocabulary. While Kerplunk has resulted in marbles rolling all over the room, the kids are having so much fun. I was quite surprised that none of the students had ever played Battleship, as it was such a staple of my childhood. They've really enjoyed learning the rules and the extra practice with map grids. We've also been playing a lot of What Would You Choose during bus duty. My students were a little shocked that I'd rather eat a bug than never brush my teeth again in my entire life. I was surprised that almost everyone chose not brushing their teeth! \r\n\r\nI'm grateful that my students get to have time in the classroom being kids and having fun, while not hiding behind a screen.
