Anarchy for all!

Tuesdays are what i call the fourthgraders day. Its the day when i have most of the day with them and only two last lessons with my fifthgraders together with the sixthgraders in PE. One of the lessons though was spent trying to bash some morals into a firstgrader who seems to have a tough time with him being in school. Fortunately i can trust my own class enough to just give them five seconds of directions and then let them work for themselves, i think they actually liked to work in peace for once instead of having a waving and shouting teacher there all the time.

Later on i caused a slight commotion as i told my fifthgraders that they get to keep a party for succceeding so well in their math tests (something i had promised them earlier). It was a close call for them but thanks to one of the more challenged kids managing well in his own test they passed. They were ofcourse really happy but as usually there were plenty of other kids at the school who got jealous. Our school is "candy free zone" and i had told my pupils that they get to bring snacks but not candy but of course the other kids immeadetly thought they'd get to bring candy. And just to mess with them every time they asked me why the fifth graders were allowed to bring candy i just told them that i am the king in my class and i make the rules. Never did i even by mistake tell them that they actually wouldn't be allowed to bring candy.

At the end of the school day i just couldn't say no when some of the kids came up with the idea of masking themselves as clothes in the clothes rack as well as on the floor to spook the other kids who would go fetch their jackets.

All in all a pretty usual day for me and my class. Good work, great fun. I know i tend to be pretty demanding and strict but i guess it pays off at the end always.

After work i went to fetch Jonna and we went to our friend Nips for a cup of coffee and to quickly make a check audio connections for some upcoming partying. While there we made friends with their dog and so the day turned to evening and it wasn't until sorta late that we left. Before saying goodnight and cruising home me and Jonna went for some hamburgers, icecream and an evening stroll and just generally had a wonderful time.



And yeah, this picture is shamelessly ripped off Nips. Good pictures i gotta admit though. Now to close down the computer after a few rounds of MOW, which also turned pretty humorous, and into a great tomorrow.

Good night and good luck!
