Experiment

So today during 6th period I decided to do a little experiment. I was curious just how long it would take for my kids to settle down without me up front telling them to be quiet. Any guesses? Yesterday it took 25 minutes for them to calm down enough for us to our activity for the day. It took them 7 minutes today, I was actually impressed. And most of them participated in the activity. Now they are filling out their BINGO boards for vocab BINGO and I am curious how long it is going to take them to realize that we are not playing yet and that I am waiting. We will see how long it takes.

Sometimes I love my job. This is not one of those times.
