DAY OF PLAY!

The Global Cardboard Challenge was a huge success! The 3rd grade G.A.T.E. students did an amazing job designing and creating their own cardboard games. Some of the G.A.T.E. classes even created a presentation of their game to share with the 4th grade G.A.T.E. students. They had to write and memorize their part of the presentation and it turned out awesome! The 4th grade G.A.T.E. students came to our classroom and played our games and we went to their room and played their games in our “Day of Play!” Mrs. Sheets even joined in on the fun and was very impressed by the students’ originality and creativity.

After our “Day of Play,” the students came up with a door design for Red Ribbon Week: “Keeps Your Eyes Off Drugs!” The students created their own eye using black paper and pastels. These turned out really cool!

At the end of the week, the students wrote their own, “Stories with Holes.” “Stories with Holes” is a book full of riddles to encourage students to think outside of the box. Each student read their riddles in front of the class and let us figure out what the hole in the story was. Some of the students’ riddles were so difficult we couldn’t even figure them out and even had to forfeit! This was so much fun!
