Easier by the Dozen

It's the Naramata X country run today so I only had 12 students in class this morning.  Wow, zero management and productive.  We tried Jeff's suggestion for learning with movement by posting numbers to 31 around the room.  I said a number in French and they had to try and be the first to find the sign and touch it.  I thought it was better to try it first with a small group.   For French they made little cartoons of dialogue we will be doing 'live'.  Their cartoons will be on the bulletin board as a prompt.  They were happily working on the proper pronunciation and spelling for the presentation.  They each chose the context of their different conversation lines.  Dice games as a group in math.  They all said they loved the morning.
