Rudolph the Red-Nosed Flower


The last day of the semester, only 3 out of my 12 grade 2 students showed up - we had a Monthly Test, and most of the students had been in and out all month due to their regular school's vacation and testing schedule. They couldn't take the test since they'd missed too many days. Hence, we adapted our curriculum just a tad...

Since we were done with our regular Speaking Class book, we opted for something different. After a rigid semester of performing outstandingly well in all of their subjects, it was time for these youngters to let loose a little bit.

We'd been studying planets in Science so I brought in materials for the kids to invent aliens... They had 10 minutes to create, and then they had to stand in front of the class to present. I was told it was THE BEST DAY OF THEIR LIVES. I hope they were exaggerating. (They did get a bit goofy, as you can see - but I thought they were lovely.) There also might have been a pizza involved...or, as we dubbed it that day, "Alien Snot Pie". Let me ask you this: What other job on Earth allows you to step into your office and toast a feast with a cup of Alien Eye Puss (AKA on other planets as Coca-Cola)?

My job. Priceless.
