I Soon unleashed my Sarcasm on the world with NO restraints!!! -------Looking at the list of new students in my fourth grade class & their reading test results -- I could see that it was a complete no brainer what I needed to accomplish that year --- We all needed to learn to read & comprehend what we read!!! --- The year was progressing VERY well -- I loved every one of them! --One by one I experienced the thrill of seeing them mature mentally - The light bulbs lighting & they were readers ! --- BOY WERE they readers -- some even would sneak a good book & read -- ignoring my lectures! ( I ignored their reading & grinned) -- Some would ask - Mr. Giering -- Could we stay in & read instead of going outside today?? -------- Still - there were a few that needed time -- so -- I continued reading them exciting stories & doing all I knew to do in order to keep them wanting to read ---- when ------------ The School came up with the GREAT idea ( Im being sarcastic) --- Each classroom would pick a State -- do a bunch of artwork in their room ( meaning the teachers would compete to see who was the best artist -- NOT the kids. ---- We would call it -- the 50 nifty states & invite the parents in to see ! ---- PISSED ME OFF! --- I had PLENTY to do --- NOBODY to impress & Kids that needed lots of on task work --- I was SOOO pissed that I figured I would cooperate -- I would OVER cooperate & maybe THEN - they would leave me alone to do my job - -------SOoooo ------ We picked Maine for our State --- THENnnn --- We made a Giant - Huge -- 20 ft long Paper Mache LOBSTER!!! -- We painted it RED -- ( Knowing it would need total demolition to get it out the door!!! )I figured the Custodians would flip out & they actually ran the school! -- --- Then ------ I got huge sheets of Cardboard from the box factory & we made Bullwinkle Moose Cutouts holding Moose Crossing Signs & put them in the Hall by the classrooms of Plump teachers --- There was a leak in the roof --- SOoo --- We put a cardboard Bullwinkle holding a Maine Leak sign there ------- THEN ----- We had a Lobster Fest --- Boiled live Lobsters - melted butter & ALL ate Lobster ( of course I made the school pay the bill) -& a teacher donated Moose Meat & we had another feast . -----Sarcasm was TOTALLY unleashed in room 205 -- I thought I was being TOTALLY ridiculous & they might leave me ALONE to teach in the future ---#$&*() ---- It Backfired ----- They thought it was Wonderful! ----- Triple GEEEEeeeeeez!
