ziasudraToday was the last day of school for the kiddies before their winter vacation. This meant no one was willing to sit quietly in class to read, which was expected.
In one class, we got a movie going while the main teacher and I fed hoards of hungry teenagers chips, cookies, Skittles, and soda. Afterwards, they still went to lunch and ate more food. Kiddies = endless food repository.
In another class, we 1) attempted a read-aloud only to be interrupted too many times by over energized, bouncy kids who couldn't keep their mouths shut for the reading, 2) tried to enforced quiet reading for, like, five minutes, and 3) eventually gave up and let them have free time for the remaining 20 minutes of the period. As soon as free time started, the girls huddled around into two groups to either draw or read a puberty/"about my body" book while giggling with each other. Some boys whipped out their Gameboys right away while others took out their stacks of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and battled with each other.
Naturally, I watched the boys play Yu-Gi-Oh. Comparing their decks with the virtual deck that I have in my GBA Yu-Gi-Oh game, I think I might have a chance of winning if I play my deck against theirs. *g*
No kiddies for the next three weeks. It'll probably take them three days to forget my name :p
