(QUICK NOTE! Half of the stuff in here is from before season two so please dont comment if its wrong or something) Trashy Quiznak is pretty much trashy. This is just a cool place to hear about some Voltron things. My second book has more info about season 3 but if you just got into Voltron or want to get into Voltron, I guess this is the place to go? Idk this is just Trashy Fuck if you translate it. {Voltron Legendary Defender and very rarely Voltron Defender Of The Universe} {Art is not mine unless said otherwise} [started 10/4/16]

Last year the cup stack was one of my FAVORITE team building activities (see post here). So, naturally, I wanted to give it another shot! The Cup Stack is a fun, yet challenging activity that promotes team work. The supplies are basic: cups, string, rubber bands. I go ahead and tie the string to the rubber bands so it is ready to go. I make a few for groups of 4 and a few for groups of 5, this way no matter what the numbers are in the classroom I can make it work. I start by asking students what teamwork is. What does it look like? sound like? feel like? We brainstorm a list of ideas that I hang in the classroom for students to refer to. Each class comes up with a variety of ideas, but they all center around the same theme. Then I introduce their challenge. I start off my admitting that this will be a frustrating activity. We discuss ways to handle our stress and feelings that arise when others make a mistake or don't do what we want them to do. I model that they will each be given 6 cups and a rubberband with strings attached to it. Their job is to stack the cups into a design by only holding onto their individual string. I demonstrate that when everyone pulls on their string the rubberband opens wider, and vice versa. I also show them the challenges of picking up a cup that has tipped on its side or fallen on the floor. No matter what happens, they must follow the one rule: YOU CAN ONLY TOUCH YOUR STRING. No touching the rubber band, no touching the cup, and no touching other group member's strings. I reinforce how communication is so important in order to reach the goal. Then I set them off. Here are some videos and pics. After about 10-15 minutes, we pause and reflect on our experiences. I ask them to rate their group on how well they worked together using the ideas we wrote at the beginning of the lesson. I ask them what went well for their group. I also ask them what didn't go well for their group. We talk about different strategies and ways we an handle ourselves when things don't go the way we want them to. Throughout the activity I walk around and facilitate positive communication, so I usually have a few examples to help springboard the discussion.

It's another snowy day in Michigan, which I really don't mind if I don't have anywhere far to go. I just wish I could move my computer desk right in front of the fireplace! I'm linking up a few days late for Workshop Wednesday by Ideas by Jivey. Better late than never, right? I was inspired by Jivey's Workshop Wednesday this week which is all about using historical fiction. I'm getting ready to start our first book club of the year using The Hidden Girl. It's an autobiography written by Lola Rein Kaufman, a Jewish Holocaust survivor. It's a fascinating and moving story, which makes for great book club discussions. After reading Jivey's post I was motivated to try something new. I got to school extra early Friday morning and dug out one of my favorite historical fiction books, Rose Blanche by Roberto Innocenti. I love this book, because it requires a great deal of inferring. The illustrations are beautiful and add a tremendous amount of meaning to the text. I created a packet to go with the story along with a PowerPoint slide show of a few of the illustrations that I wanted the students to be able to look at closely. This is one of the pictures we looked at in the PowerPoint. It's not the best picture, but you get the idea. I loved the discussion that we had throughout the book! It was interesting to hear who already had a lot of prior knowledge about the topic (one student brought up Jewish ghettos, wow!) and those who didn't have much at all (one student responded to another with, What's the Holocaust?). But they totally figured out everything in the book! They figured out it was about the Nazis in World War II, the Holocaust, the Jews in concentrations camps...all of it! And by the end of the discussion, everyone had some prior knowledge about the subject. This is the class anchor chart we started together. I'm hoping this activity will have really piqued their interest on the topic, so they will be raring to dive into The Hidden Girl next week! If you would like to try this inferring lesson with your students, you can find it at my TPT Store. You can also check out my book club unit based on The Hidden Girl by Lola Rein Kaufman. Make sure you check out other ways of using historical fiction in your classroom by stopping by Workshop Wednesday at Idea's by Jivey!
