Post 12

Last night we had our multicultural night with eighth grade students from Fond Du Lac middle schools.  I felt a bit badly for them since they had to get to know us and it was the end of the day and they seemed a bit worn out.  Aida had a play a few games and I thought all of them could be applied in a classroom setting.  I have played circle name games before but I thought adding the action verb to your name, while acting it out was a great touch.  The Shape War went OK with the eighth grade students but I think it would have gone better with a bigger group.  I liked the Elephant story and it reminded me of a picture book in my library with a similar slant. Looking at the rest of the agenda for the students it seems like a great opportunity to visit a university setting and learn something along the way.
