Cool, Crazy Clubs

One of the stories in our reading book is called Cool, Crazy Crickets.  It is about a group of kids who work together to form a best friends club.   They built a clubhouse and made up a name and rules and chose a mascot.  We have been learning about synergy and the importance of being able to work together.  We split our class up into 4 teams.  They worked together to form a club.  They chose their names and colors and mascot.  They made up their own rules and even a password.  Then they worked together to build a clubhouse.  They discovered how important synergy is.  The kids were able to read in their clubhouses and do math and even design their reading folders in them.  It was a super fun day.
