TUESDAY

5:30 - In-betweener Boys: Today at Friend's Club we learned about Oxymorons and solved some Rebus puzzles for the purpose of understanding how words can "act themselves out" in order to take on new, clever meanings. We learned that we see Rebus -type puzzles everyday, in the form of funny license plates. We also watched a clip from America's Funniest Home Videos for the purpose of watching examples of physical humor, something we have been discussing lately. We learned that sometimes people do not always mean to be physically funny, which makes it even funnier!

WEDNESDAY

2:45 - Wiggly Giggly: Today in friends club we talked about all the things we learned about humor. This was for the purpose of summarizing what we had learned about humor. We took turns re-telling our favorite jokes and even read some funny poems. As a result we learned that our friends learned how words with multiple meanings can make funny jokes and how blendwords can lead to inside jokes.

4:00 - Girls Group: In Friend's Club today, we spent a lot of time doing What's Up for the purpose of finding out what our friends did over spring break. We learned that we will not get the information we want from the person we are having a conversation with unless we ask appropriate questions about their experiences. We also reviewed what we learned about jokes and read some funny poems for the purpose of finding the humor in storytelling. We learned that sometimes we need to hear something multiple times to understand the joke.

5:45 - Teen Boys: Today in Friend's Club we checked in with our friends to see what they did over spring break. It seemed like most of us got more sleep and two of us got new video games! Then, we watched a few clips from the movie "Benchwarmers" for the purpose of seeing how our two recent Friend's Club themes, Bullying and Humor, could be tied in together. We talked about the different types of humor we saw, including puns and physical humor. One of our friends suggested that humor can be used if we find ourselves in a bullying situation, and everyone thought that was a good idea, pointing out examples from the movie.
