Hi all,
This is Johnpaul; I helped demo at the Friday session of "Looney for
Learning". I honestly was there more to learn from what you all have been
doing over the past few years incorporating these games into the classroom
so that I could, as a future educator, integrate these great games more
easily into the curriculum. Thanks so much for the opportunity to help out
and learn so much at the same time.
On another note, I really latched onto what you were saying about using
"NanoFictionary" in the classroom. My mom is a second grade teacehr and has
been telling me about how she can't really get her students interrested in
the Language Arts lessons she's teaching and has been complaining over the
past year about the new restrictions and guidelines the school system has
put on her and given her no hints as to how to impliment all the
requirements. I showed her Nano Fictionary after buying it this year at
Origins and she loves it! I've already got her ready to buy a copy when I
buy my last few stashes of Icehouse pyramids in a couple weeks. Thanks so
much to Carol and everyone else at that session for showing me how to use
this great game in the classroom.
