The Winner is......

THE BOYS!!!!!

The score to the no talking contest was....

Girls:  100
Boys: 152

We have been reading the book NO TALKING with our IB Unit, Express Yourself.  Through this book the children quickly realized their other ways to communicate besides just verbally.  

For 3 hours yesterday, the boys and girls could not talk.  However, if they had to say something, they only could say it in 3 words.  Every word over 3 gave their opponent that many points.  They could use hand gestures, facial expressions, post-it notes (which were all over my room), etc.  Needless to say, this was a HARD game for 2nd graders who LOVE to talk.  The poor team captains were worn out keeping track of the score.  However, they had a blast! 

Did you ask your child about it!!
