My favorite in-class activity was the Investigative Cookies lab with Physical Science! We baked two sets of cookies and changed on ingredient to practice the scientific method. We also noted physical and chemical changes. Fun and delicious!

Teaching the kids how Track and Field works and coaching them on the correct way to throw a Shot Put! Kids were inside, outside, and at parks in their respective cities throwing a Shot Put (i.e. rolled up sock, tennis ball, etc.)!

While reading a scene aloud from A Midsummer Night's Dream with the 7th graders, everyone collapsed into hysterics when the students playing Titania and Nick Bottom (as donkey) snored loudly in a strange, sleepy chorus while the student playing Oberon read his lines.

In my 7th grade English class, we recently started our class by working on a short story together in which each student took a turn writing one sentence at a turn. We never knew where that student was going to take it. The story ended up being a Home-Alone Grinch situation with them booby-trapping the Grinch in various hilarious ways.
