		<description>Here&#039;s a bit of advice I learned from doing this with the students:
1. Make sure you have enough pairs of scissors for each group (i broke the students up into groups of three - each kid rolls 3 times to pick their 3 activities)
2. Speed up the cutting/folding process by having groups  race to see who can get their cube made first.  I gave little prepackaged brownies to the winning group.  The group that had no incentive took FOREVER to get their cubes put together.  
3. Consider just having kids complete 2 activities... three was a lot, considering how much I wanted them to write.  I might also just limit the intensity of the activity.  They will have to complete some of this work at home.</description>
