Today we watched this during assembly with grades 1-3. Never give up was the lesson of the day. I am not sure if the students got anything out of it but almost every teacher ended up in tears by the end of it. I had seen it before but it gets me every time!
After assembly I taught a phonics lesson that ended with a game of bingo. The students had been working on their bingo boards for a while and the bingo was to serve as a review of the words. I quickly found that the students haven’t played bingo before when they started calling bingo after the first word was called. “But I found a word Ms. Kurdelmeier!” (Matthew) They make it hard to ignore their cute remarks. After working through what it actually meant to get bingo we had a great time playing!
