Fun project

Since this is a short week and we're about to get out for Thanksgiving, I decided to throw in a hands-on "fun" project for my guys to do. I usually push academics pretty hard, particularly reading fluency and comprehension, but once in a while I think these guys like to do something with a different part of their brain. So today we're weaving a miniature Indian blanket. I made cardboard looms for everyone, and bought some yarn, and hoped they'd like it. Well, it passed the ultimate test of Sam -- he's my most belligerent and uncooperative student -- and he actually sat down and worked on that weaving project without complaining! The others did, too.

Now it's the next block, and these guys are totally getting into their weaving project, too. I love it when I pick something that works.
