ALL ABOUT THE... FRIENDSGIVING

11/27/2019

 
We had our first family night of the school year here at MMS !MPACT!
Over the course of the month the students brainstormed their favorite side dishes, got to learn how to make those dishes, and designed the layout for the night!
We ordered the turkey that was served but everything else the students had made for their peers, and the !MPACT families to enjoy.
Friendsgiving was all about the kids because they got to plan, make, and design the whole event!
We can't wait for the next one, and hope to see you there!

Battle Bots: LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE

11/7/2019

 
Picture
This week we made our own battle bots! They aren't in the traditional form of battle bots but its still super fun.

The premise of the activity is that we all create our bots by attaching balloons and skewers to them so that they could ram the trucks together and try and pop the others before they pop yours.

We took Some RC Cars that had some removable tops and remade the covers to be flat so that we could attach some balloons.
Then we took some simple kitchen skewers and some Popsicle sticks for some added protection. Completing our bots we took them to the battle stadium.
Picture
The rules of battle are simple, two bots in one bot out. We have a 20 foot circle as the arena. If all 4 our your tires go out of the arena that is a loss. If their balloon pops that is a loss.

ALL ABOUT THE KIDS

10/30/2019

 
October flew by quick here at Maywood. We had our Halloweenapalooza field trip, continued developing our Dungeons & Dragons characters, made some scrunchies, and more!

A favorite here at !MPACT is to sit down with a group of friends, play a game, and of course have a DJ.

We will typically pull out a card game (like Snake Oil or UNO), then have students choosing songs they want to listen to. Here you can see Estella controlling the computer while Taylor writes down songs that other students call out, to be heard in order. This is one small way we are "All About The Kids" here at !MPACT. They get the freedom to be the whole room's DJ, while also jumping in on some card game action.

We are excited to see what November has in store for us!

Last Friday we had field trip to Beaver Lake Middle school, We also had a contest in a little known game called Gang Beasts. Mix WWE with hard to control play-dough people and this is what you get.So we had the best student from each of the schools compete in a heated battle in front of everyone.

D&D: The Beginnings

10/10/2019

 
Our story begins with a group of ragtag adventurers coming together to help the local town of Phandalin off of the sword cost. The Mayor of this small town is seeking help to get rid of a dragon that has been terrorizing the local farms.The group sets off to get a weapon from the Gnomes in the west. Arriving they find out that the King of the Gnomes has gone crazy thinking that everything is a shape shiftier called a Mimic and asks the adventurers to rid the beast from his tiny kingdom.

After doing so they return to the king dragging the mimics "body" behind and the king so happy with this he gives them a sword that is suited to kill the dragon.

To find out what happens next make sure that you keep coming back to the blog for future updates!

Rockets!

10/4/2019

 
Early in the month we made ROCKETS! These are made of 2l bottles and some PVC pipes. This activity is super fun and great for anyone that is wanting to see how they would fair as a rocket scientist.

ALL ABOUT THE KIDS

9/29/2019

 
Hello & welcome to the 19-20 school year at Maywood !MPACT!
We celebrated the first day of fall by making our own !MPACT trail mix. We then hung out in the pit while enjoying our snack. The students had a great idea to share our trail mix with the teachers, so we provided a bowl in the staff lounge. Suddenly they had another great idea - to walk up to Briarwood Elementary, to say hello to Bear Club! With it being only a 12 minute walk away, we hung out at Briarwood with the Bear Club staff and students who were outside. Our previous Bear Club attending students were able to say hi to their old friends, staff, and even their siblings!
Please enjoy more of our September recap photos above
~Stop by next month to see how Maywood !MPACT is All About The Kids~

Smash Free Fridays

9/20/2019

The students say that Smash is the best game ever but sometimes too much of a good this can be bad. That's why I introduced smash free fridays! Guess what happened ... No, the world didn't end ... no, the decepticons didn't take over the world. We actually played different games. We even played some card games like coup. 

Its the subtle things that help a community grow and trying new things with each other is one of the main that we like to focus on here at !MPACT.
 
Check back here for more updates on how we are doing!
