😂Comedy Week😂

During our comedy week our students discussed what makes something funny to them.
Here are some of the activities done:
- Comedy Skits and performed them for for the class.
- Heat or Dare, all the students were dared something (for example they were asked something about their mom or best friend and after they answered; they would call them on speaker phone to see if the answer matched. If they got it wrong/ didn't get their call answered they had to take a cup of mystery heat).
- They played some games from the TV show Wildn'Out (In The Classroom,Talkin Spit and Turn Me Up In The Headphones)

April 3-6

Topic: Religion

During this week we discussed what our families do for Easter and how we all celebrate. The students all participated in Easter themed activities, which for some were new experiences such as dying eggs and doing an Easter egg/picture hunt.
