Our day would normally start off with a trip to the gym, but with the students from Walnut Grove Secondary setting up their Caine's Arcade activities, we stayed in and Finished up our online shopping work from Monday. One of the encouraging outcomes of the activity, has been the fact that the students are starting to think and consider their purchases, and consider value. They without prompting, began to distinguish between cheap and good value. NICE!!
The student were brought down to the gym to take part in the WGSS version of Caine's Arcade. (If you are unfamiliar with Caine's Arcade, here is the link to the movie...and the link to the follow up video. I guarantee it puts a smile on your face, if not a tear in your eye.) My cheeks actually hurt, I was smiling so much watching the kids play all the incredible games the WGSS students had put together. It was incredible!!

After returning from recess, we reviewed our spelling words and the students were asked to choose at least 4 of their spelling words and to work them into a paragraph. See the example that we came up with as a class below. In the back half of the day, we finished up our Jack O' Latern art projects, and the students did a fun art activity, where they designed Halloween Costumes for me. See the Gallery Page to see their fantastic creativity.
