I had some work to do in the library last period today. Honest, I did. But it didn't get done. When I walked in who should be there but my Grade 5's. They were playing checkers, DDR, and Wii sports. Who can work when all that is going on? I don't say I was there 10 minutes before Cameron challenged me to a boxing match (that's what I get for saying I could take him out, I suppose). Shortly after we got started he said that if he wins we shouldn't get any more homework for the rest of the year. I, of course, agreed, knowing full well I would win anyway. Alas, that wasn't the case. He knocked me out in the first round of our our first match, but I lasted until the final round of our second match before he knocked me out. He wasted no time reminding him of our deal but I made one clarification that if it was work they had time to do in class and just didn't get it done, they would have to finish that for homework.
So that's why they don't have to finish their literature circle role sheets (but they do still have to read the novel). They did, however, have time to do the math in class today, so that has to be finished for tomorrow.
That's very nice of you Ms Chaulk, and I think it is nice for a teacher to keep their word to their students... Good Try with the boxing though :)
