Here is the quick synopsis of our meeting this morning...
For some strange reason the team decided to torture their egg device some more, they kicked it, threw it, bumped it, set it, punted it, and finally the top came off and the eggs spilled out, and one broke. They put it all back together, we'll see how it does Saturday.
We made our first attempt at selecting a main challenge for the year. A challenge wasn't selected but the team did decide what they don't want to do. They don't want to do Challenge E (Switch - basically building a structure to see how much weight it will hold), and they don't want to do Challenge D (Chorific - this is the improv challenge for this season). That leaves three choices Challenge A, B, & C. We'll work more trying to select a challenge next week.
Time was rapidly running short so we quickly moved into an Instant Challenge. The challenge was called Halloween newscast. I gave the team the option of breaking into two groups and working on the challenge separately or working in one big group. They decided to split up. For the challenge they had to enact a Halloween newscast where the anchors, weatherperson, and sports person needed to have all of their stories relate to Halloween in some way. Each group had five minutes to prepare and 2 minutes and 30 seconds of "air time" to broadcast the result.
At long last the egg challenge is upon us. The event is this Saturday, November 3rd at 10:00am in the school parking lot. The mystery of what will happen to the eggs this year will finally be revealed! Hopefully your candy bar sales are going well. If you've sold all of your candy bars please bring your money to the egg event so we can get it to Denise who has been coordinating this fun fundraising effort. Even if you still have a few candy bars left you could still bring your money along and trust you will sell the ones you have remaining. If you haven't been able to sell all of yours you can also bring your unsold candy bars and the money from the bars you have sold.
See you at the egg event Saturday,
Mr. H.
p.s. Of course I took some pictures this morning, see the link to the photo album below.
