The Buffalo

The class starts almost everyday with a question.  We actually call it "High, Low, and Buffalo".  A thought provoking question is picked from the box. We have had silly questions and some very serious questions.  The students almost always answers the Buffalo.  IT is normally just our small group of students in the morning but sometimes it is all the students in the three classes that are together at the moment. One serious question that was asked in the small group was "Should parents stay together if they are not happy?". All the students (and teachers because we also answer the questions) wanted the parents to be happy and not stay together.  A silly question that was asked to the large group was "If you work up as the opposite sex then what you are, what would you do?". Many of the girls said they would go pee outside.  The boys did not understand why they wanted to do that. It was fun for sure.  Hearing everyone's opinions have brought the groups together both small and large.  It is great way to build community with each other and by having the teachers participate, the students see them as more then a teacher.
