Funko is giving their POP! Vinyl line a classic HORROR twist!

 Cannibal Reviews is a big supporter of Funko!  Theyve taken on zombies, masked psychopaths, and Ghostbusters.  This September the company will be tackling the Universal Monsters!

Its a perfect night for mystery and horror!

The air itself is filled with...monsters! Funko is bringing the legendary Universal Monsters to life in a new Pop! series! Dracula, Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, Creature From the Black Lagoon, and Metaluna Mutant are all creepy cute!

My favorite?  The Wolf Man, hands down.  That is a definite must own.  Everyone has a favorite Universal Monster, and now they can own their very own Pop! version of that character.  September cant come soon enough!

Genius Hour is Here! Students Have Begun Finding their Inner Genius!

In a previous post I mentioned that students were gearing up and learning about what Genius Hour was.  I found a wonderful video for those that are not familiar with Genius Hour as it does a great job explaining the basis for this change in education.  



After many weeks of preparing and gaining a better understanding of what Genius Hour is, students launched their own Genius Hour time last Friday.  It was amazing to see how engaged and eager they each were to learning about something they were interested in.  As with all Genius Hour projects, the students began with a question of something they wanted to learn more about.  After reviewing internet safety, they were off to explore their own topics and learning.  You could have heard a pin drop as they were so into their new learning.  Many comments were, "This is awesome!", "I dont want to stop!", "Can we do this every day?".  Music to my ears!!!  It was wonderful.


We still have some work to do on research skills and when do I have "enough" information?  They are 3rd graders after all and need guidance.  But I can tell this is going to be a powerful time in our day every Friday as it has been in the past.


I cant wait to hear what they are learning about and share it with you!  Some of their topics are wind turbine, race cars, lava lamps, video making, speed boats, light bulbs....just to name a few.
