Our meeting this week kind of went in an unexpected direction. We were planning on doing the DJ Dot Challenge created by Wonder Workshop specifically for clubs, but the students were just not into it. They just wanted to PLAY. Mrs. G and Mrs. Allen decided to just "wing it" and let them have some unstructured time to become more familiar with their machine friends. They enjoyed it and it was nice to take a step back and realize that club activities should be driven by the students themselves rather than us constantly giving them direction and tasks to accomplish. As our meeting progressed, students wanted to invent games as they played and we created a whole group game of Dash, Dash, Dot (duck, duck, goose) and had a few races. The club members loved it and were completely engaged.
