Mr. Westing Visits Cafe!

We thought Mr. Westing was pretty smart when he addressed his heirs in his will, but we we're really amazed that he knew we were reading The Westing Game and involved us in his latest game.  Above is the video message he sent to cafe today!  When the students arrived, the bags were already neatly placed on our cafe tables with specific directions for the game.  After hearing Mr. Westing's message, everyone dug in to play.  The game tested our knowledge of the characters, and if played correctly was a perfect chain reaction.  Any player could begin, and we would work our way around all the players to the one who started.  If your child is a part of cafe, please ask them about today's challenge!
 

The second challenge on today's menu was a new project.  Each member of cafe was asked to think about who is responsible for Sam Westing's murder.  Each student will create a WANTED poster depicting information about the character he/she suspects. The students received project directions, a model, and rubric today.
 
Mrs. Doman's science classes did an experiment with Miss Doyle today called Monster Muck.  The students performed a series of eight tests on the Monster Muck to investigate whether it was a liquid or solid.   They recorded their observations on a data sheet and tomorrow will discuss the results.
