Different Ways to Raise Your Hand.

One game we invented during our trip to the city was "Different Ways to Raise Your Hand." It is pretty self-explanatory, but the important thing to do is explain what kind of student raises her hand in the style you demonstrate.

This, for example, is the "Is he really asking us this, because who won't know the answer?" hand raise, demonstrated here by Janine and Alex.


Here, Alex shows us the "I've known the answer since before you gave all those extra hints and also I'm in fourth grade and have dunkaroos in my lunch, the thought of which is literally making me salivate right now."

Here's Janine's "Um. I know this one?"

And Lucia demonstrating the ever-popular "Yeaaahh. That'd be Dostoyevsky."
