Crazy Kid's Clubs!

One of the stories in our reading series is called Cool, Crazy Crickets.  It is about some kids who set up a club and build a clubhouse.  After we read the story the kids split into groups and set up clubs.  They were very creative.  There was a Cooking Club, an Art Club, a Detective Agency Club, a Sports Club and a Game Club.  They made up rules and designed and created signs.  Then they built a clubhouse using desks and sheets.  Last, they wrote a persuasive speech to try to convince the other kids to join their clubs.  They also got to eat lunch and do math in their clubhouses.  Great learning, great fun and a wonderful opportunity to problem solve and work together as we were learning about synergy.
