OK...round 2...apparently my first attempt didn't work.
Here is what we did today:
Period 1 & 2:
We started the day by doing a difficult 'problem of the week' question. A lot of kids gave up, or said they couldn't do it...which led to a great discussion on just 'trying'. It's all I ask, is that everyone tries their best. I think they got it!
Then I tried to blow their minds with a game of 20 questions, but Milo made a guess on question 3 and got my mystery item, a Rubik's Cube. Then I really tried to blow their minds by solving it quickly...but I choked several times and it took me 6 minutes and 34 seconds.
After that we went outside to play a game of Emotional Charades.
Period 3 & 4 we did some math. We focused on Place Value. Everyone worked hard and 'tried' their best. We played these games and did the following worksheet (except I think it may be password protected...)

We were able to sneak outside just before nutrition break (it was beautiful outside and some of the class is building a cool fort).
Period 5 Mr. Woolley had them for French.
Period 6 we played some hangman...then finished up some math and art from earlier.
Today was a great day (except writing the blog post twice)!
