Man I love my kids. Sometimes they pull the dumbest stuff but boy does it crack me up. Today we're playing a game to review for science. There are 3 groups in my class so I have each group responsible for coming up with questions on one side of an index card and then writing the answer on the reverse. I split the class up in two and we play a sort of trivia game. Today's game: The N.F.L. Charmed Demons (mix of what the girls and boys wanted) vs The Haunted Toilets. Yes ...they come up with their own names and I have to try really.....reeeeeeeeeally hard not to laugh everytime I say, "Okay Haunted Toilets...you can steal the point by answering the question correctly."
But it's the crazy stuff they say inbetween. See...way back when I was in grade 4...I would laugh at the dumbest shit and quite uncontrollable. So whenever a kid says something that causes the whole class to bust a gut I find myself having such a hard time not laughing. It's so hard to say...okay let's get serious again, and then turn around and smirk. Now that it's the end of the year I'm throwing that kinda stuff out the window and just laughing with my students...when it doens't hurt anyone else...of course. I'm just enjoying each day with them and anyways it's better for them that they sense a teacher who's laid back, but firm and fair...rather than someone uptight and "non-human"
....hehehehe....haunted toilets.....nice one.
