We are over it!
Class antics are the best part of being in a classroom. Little jokes, silly comments, humorous little happenings—they keep us going during long days of lessons.
A student falls out of her chair in a fit of giggles. The classroom sink explodes, sending water gushing to the ceiling. The puppy visiting the class next door wanders into our classroom. A bird smashes into our window (but lives to tell the tale).
Funny! A break from the ordinary! A HUGE DISTRACTION!
In my class, we celebrate these moments, but then get back to work. How?
We do a little cheer: “We are over it!” And then we move on.
Try it—it works!
