I'm not sure if you're up to date with the latest social media craze, but being a middle school teacher, I kind of need to stay on top of these things-so I know what kids are into! The latest craze is what's called The Mannequin Challenge- where groups freeze in place and someone records all of the frozen mannequins in place. If you haven't seen this, check out the link! http://www.cbsnews.com/news/behind-the-mannequin-challenge-the-internets-newest-phenomenon/) The students proposed that we do our own Mannequin Challenge- and I gladly accepted it, and added a twist. I thought it may be fun to do the challenge in a different room, when another teacher isn't expecting it. So, we decided to "prank" Mrs. Kingzett and do the challenge in her room. We practiced all week, freezing in place and being still as statutes. We had a secret "signal phrase" that would alert them it was time to freeze. We walked in this morning and pulled it off without a hitch, well almost without a hitch- my camera didn't record the first one- but Mr. Sanborn was in on the secret and also got footage! We had so much fun doing it, we then did it to Mrs. Allen, in the afternoon! A compilation of the video footage is below- please check it out- we really had a blast! Their enthusiasm for this activity gets me excited for the fun we will have with the Second Annual Lip Sync Battle!

*The school-wide food drive is still going on and our class has set a goal for 100 items. We have currently brought in a total of 57 items, we are more than half way to our goal! Non-perishable food items are being collected for the next few weeks! *Our family sponsorship has been a huge success. I've had a ton of help (Thank you Colleen!) and we currently have all the clothing items we need for each child in our family. We also have a few toys and arts n crafts supplies. Thanks goes to all of you that have donated so far. It's such a great cause and your involvement is truly appreciated. *Remember- no school Wed-Friday of next week!
