Today was a busy day. We had a service project this morning, leading a Bingo game for our senior citizens and community members. It was well-received, and the students had brought really great prizes. In the afternoon we had a trip — ice skating and time at a local college’s recreation center and game room. Lots of fun!

However, when we came back from Bingo this morning, I had all 7th and 8th graders together in my classroom for thirty minutes before lunch. I pulled out the popsicle sticks with names and created random pairs. Then I gave this challenge, “Work together to write a blog post that includes an image. Topic is ANYTHING! Try to publish it within thirty minutes.” They got right into it, and about half managed to publish theirs. Maybe more later, but here is what was published this morning:
