I went to my school Sunday night at 8pm. There is a caretaker that lives there at night. I knocked on his window. I wanted to get inside my office because I need to get some lesson resources. Well, after an awkward few minutes he did not even let me in. As I was walking home I thought, "Oh gosh, did I just break some rule, great"! I tossed and turned last night because I was worried that I had done something that I was not supposed to.
I only got 5 hours of sleep. Maybe that!
I got to school early because I had to print and create pieces of this game that I am playing with all my classes called the sentence auction. So I walk up to the school and there he is...the caretaker who caused me a sleepless night.
Nothing happened. I worried for nothing. I told me co-teachers about what happened and they think that he probably just did not understand me. Well, obviously!
So, I am really excited about this sentence auction. It has worked really well for Mykie. Sentence auction is exactly what it sounds like. I am auctioning off sentences to the highest bidder.
My first class is with grade 9s. Grade 9s in the morning on Monday are not the liveliest of people. Regardless, I go in with so much enthusiasm. "Students, we are going to play a game". Their reaction was excitement. Thank gosh I thought.
So, we just spent some time explaining the seemingly complicated rules when my classroom door opens...
In come the nurse. She comes right up to me and starts showing me these test strips for testing blood and urine. I am standing there, at the top of my class, confused out of my mind. HUH?
Everyone is looking at me and I am really confused. She keeps saying pee pee. I am thinking to myself that this is not the best time to be asking me for a urine sample.
It turns out that she did not want pee pee from me but my students. Class was cancelled and they all have to take a random urine test for drugs and HIV, I guess. I found this rather strange but it is the norm. I casually gathered my books and went back to my office totally confused as to what just happened. I had one of those feelings like I was in the twilight zone.
A nurse asking me for my pee pee in front of 42 9th graders. So weird.
BTW... I did not get a chance to play with this class but all my other classes seemed to really like the game. My teacher has decided that we will move all my classes to this secluded area of the school. My kids get so loud when we play games that I think it is disruptive. I cannot help being so fun!!!! He He
