Last year, we incorporated Caine's Arcade into our Earth Week celebration (held September rather than April so as to set the tone for a year of environmentalism at school). The students loved the creativity and really bonded as advisory groups in the process. Our culminating Day of Play involved setting up our 'arcade' in the gym for all 200 MS students to try out each other's games and admire each other's resourcefulness.<br /><br />Caine really inspired our students, and this project is a great way to meld engineering, art, math, science, AND language arts in a meaningful and authentic way.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />AndreaAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910736190644859004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-32193221459502317742014-09-06T14:00:05.486-04:002014-09-06T14:00:05.486-04:00Thanks for sharing, I will look at this video more...Thanks for sharing, I will look at this video more but I just completed this project with my students and celebrated today about it. http://www.nextlesson.org/project_details/The-Box-Project/858ffc44f8ed3497a23767197868622263c2019597853069846efadbMandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082337415906808358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-15843045012982908102014-09-04T17:34:29.185-04:002014-09-04T17:34:29.185-04:00You find the coolest things!

We sent them outside with a big cardboard box (new fridge?) and a box of finger paints. Soon, half the neighborhood kids were painting and sitting in their new fort. I'm so glad they're creating this foundation.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.com
