May 08, 2020 Fun Friday - Trivia: What's a booger? Wacky Facts: Funny Questions
Another end to the week! Here's our Weekly Trivia question and Wacky Facts for Friday.
This week: What's a booger? + Wacky Questions.
BACKGROUND
To supplement remote teaching and e-learning that is occurring during the COVID-19 quarantine, I am putting together a sample of some of the "Fun Friday" activities that usually occur within our Health classroom.
I was going to just record these for students in my virtual classrooms, but figured I'd use this platform to share with the public as well. Hope you enjoy!
Depending on the grade level, each Friday we start the period off with some Wacky Facts or Weekly Trivia. These often coincide with the content or skills we've been working on, but mostly they're just for fun and learning. Plus, they often allow us to cover some things with the body systems.
If you're into fact checking or you have additional fun facts for us, feel free to leave a comment. :)
REMOTE RECORDING
Our 8th grade hosts have managed to meet remotely to record updates on how things are going with e-learning and home life. Make sure to check out their thoughts on the cancelled school year and how they are managing socially and mentally through shelter in place.
BACKLOG
As always, remember to backtrack episodes from the past two school years to hear directly from middle school students. I also have an "Expert Insight" summer series you can listen to in which I interview positive contributors to the world of health, life, and the future.
Thanks for checking things out! Stay safe and healthy, and hang in there.
