Mixed Up Monday... Not Too Shabby for Cadet Pride!

We had great start BACK to 5B's Family today!  The play, Stuart Little, was a hoot!  Everyone seemed to enjoy some part of it.  Ken (older male actor) seemed to be some of the boys' favorite part!
We heard a lot about everyone's Thanksgiving breaks - some funny news, exciting news and maybe some sad news about one of our own 5B family members who thinks he's moving after Christmas... :(  We'll chat more with him to find out details and plans....  So sad to think of our family losing a member.....

Tuesday through Thursday should be back to "normal" routines... whatever that is, right?!  However, TUESDAY kicks off our HUGE PROJECT!  SO... IF you have any of those products at home for us to borrow for the week, that would be mighty fine of ya'll!  We will take good care of them!  So PLEASE bring them in the morning IF you do have some....

Be thinking about the TALENT SHOW coming up on December 22nd!  Let's see you do something FUN and ENTERTAINING!  Tell jokes, juggle, do a cool sport's move, do some type of aerobics dances, make up a skit, do a funny dance to a Christmas song, sing Jingle bells by barking like a dog!  We'll take ANY talent you're willing to share with us!  Ask your families to help you come up with an idea!  BE THINKING!

Book - It for November - Bring in Tuesday!
Coffee Talks - Three Days - Wednesday, My Life in Dog Years - Thursday, Biggest Klutz - Friday  (remember to bring your coffee mug again and think pages for your assigned day!)

Ok.. Blog Proof....  First of all....WARM UP your skills and play the 2 games below for a few minutes!  Most likely, they were on laptops only, so if you can, try them on a laptop.  I don't know if they work on iPads or tablets, sorry!

Snowball Fight Game #1

Snowball Fight Game #2

FIRST...  put up your SNOWBALL on the Smartboard and get ready for SWITCHING CLASSES...

Then, take one of the RESPECT papers (on the corner of the guided reading table) that we wrote on as a "ticket out" on Monday and crumple it up.  Find a place in the room to POSE in a position that shows you're ready for a class indoor SNOWBALL FIGHT!  Stay FROZEN in your POSE, no talking or moving. Be sure to be in a spot AWAY from others though to start.  When I say "GO", you'll throw your WAD of crumpled up paper at your classmates!  Grab another from the ground and keep pelting each other until the LIGHTS go OFF!  

**WARNING.... if you THROW a paper snowball BEFORE I say "GO!", you will NOT be a part of this activity!  So, having self-control! 

**WARNING... if you are talking or moving instead of staying FROZEN, you will NOT be a part of this activity!  Again, self-control is required!
