I decided to play a review game with my students yesterday to help them prepare for their unit 3 test. I found a cool game called Bluff online and put a KeyNote presentation together with questions and answers. The winning team's reward is choosing the movie we'd watch after the test tomorrow (from a planned list, of course). I didn't think it would get too competitive because the reward wasn't extra credit or anything like that but boy was I wrong! The teams were getting so competitive that some students were getting mad at their teammates when they missed a question or when they lost points because someone spoke out of turn. I had to remind the students to be respectful to one an another. Other than fierce competition, each class went well. It was obvious that some students worked on their study guides over the weekend and even more obvious that some didn't even bother looking at it. I'm excited to see how they all do on their test tomorrow.
Friday is Parent Teacher Comference and I'm getting a little nervous because it is my first conference as a teacher. I'll definitely remember to start with the positive and move on to what needs improvement.
I hope everyone's last week before spring break is going well!
