Outside the Hoop Thinking by Gabby and Vickie

In Room 209, our lucky class (because we have an awesome teacher) has a saying, "Always think outside the hoop" instead of "Think outside the box".

 We have this staying because we played a game with hoops and we had to think outside the hoop to play the game. It means to think above and beyond what hte expectations are. In the game, there were four teams, a green team, a yellow team, a blue team and a red team. The blue team lost all the popsicle sticks very fast and easily. Then, one of the people in the blue team decided to put popsicle sticks in a white hoop in the middle that Shauna said she would not tell us what it was doing there. Then, the green team decided, "Well, we're almost done, so we'll help so we'll join in by helping the person with the white hula hoop." And then, bit by bit all the teams decided to help the fill the white hoop until all of the teams were working together so everybody won!

We never could have solved it, without...Outside the hoop thinking!

 Brain drinks help us think outside the hoop and beyond! Did you know that 80% of your headaches are caused by dehydration? When you drink your brain drink (water), it will help you when you have a headache and help you think outside the hoop.
