We made it to the final day before spring break! I stopped at Target last night to get a new Uno deck (cards!) and a bag of Cuties (snacks!). Friday was established as game day for all my groups. My reading groups could not be more different from one another, and that showed through their choices of games, cooperative game play and noise level:
1st period enjoyed a quiet round of Uno with dim lights.
2nd period shared a noisy BINGO game with two other classrooms over Zoom. Then we jumped into an Uno game until the bell rang and the students flew out the door (whew!).
3rd period settled into their regular Trouble Battle (their words) with accompanying soundtrack of their favorite tunes.
7th period calmly and politely played BINGO, then transitioned to Uno. They helped each other learn to shuffle cards. Then they were RELENTLESS in the game (lol).
8th period couldn't get enough of the spinning BINGO number selector. After a game, they lost interest and stamina and their phones took their attention.
9th period. One short game of Uno. Many outbursts. Cards on floor. Kids pacing room. Dismissal could not come soon enough.
Hooray for SPRING BREAK!
