Just Sledgin'

The annual sledge hockey day has now come and gone.  It is usually a highlight for the year.  The junior highs get to spend some time at the rink, strapped into a sled, playing a game that is quite unfamiliar to them. They gain an appreciation for the difficulty of the sport and those who are able to play it well.  It is not easy, but it is always a blast!  This year, we were able to take some pretty cool video footage of the day using a Go Pro Hero 3 camera.  Take a look!

Harlem Shake - Room 113 Edition

Almost everybody who has spent some time on the internet in the last month has stumbled onto a Harlem Shake video or two (or 1000).  At first, we were not quite sure what to make of this.  The more we watched, however, the more it looked like fun.  As a result, one afternoon, we took some time and made our own.  We took about four takes and it was done.  It was a lot of fun (and easy) and it was great for the classroom culture.  This is good group of kids!
