3. Satefy in the lab
4. Fire exits
5. Virtual Brown Bag with autodraw.com - Ss create a virtual brown bag with images of 5 things that are important to them.  Each student puts their 5 images on a different google drawing which the the teacher distributes randomly.  Students describe their images to the class and everyone discusses or votes who they think the bag belongs to

7. To Kill a Mockingbird ETR

11. Team building challenges
12. Boomwriter – Read, write, vote, repeat.  Students read the first chapter of story, then write what they think should happen next.  Then the student chapters are peer assessed and voted upon.  A winner is chosen, which becomes the next official chapter of the story.  The process starts again.
13. Classroom graphs.
14. Review/create graphs while learning about everyone in the classroom
