Yesterday was Opposite Day in second grade.
Luckily it was short lived.
It started with kids calling me my student teacher’s name, my student teacher was called my name. Then it progressed. Lunch one was lunch two, lunch two was lunch one. Chairs that were still up were down, chairs that were down, were, you guessed it, up.
“It’s Opposite Day!” kids announced to those just coming in.
And so it rolled.
I was worried, to be honest. I was sick and I didn’t think I had the patience for a whole day of Opposite Day.
“It’s Opposite Day!” Someone exclaimed to me.
“I’m so excited.” I said.
She smiled. I don’t think she understood that my “excitement” was my one and only contribution to Opposite Day.
Luckily, the opposites quieted down by morning meeting, and I forgot about it until just now. Phew.
Hah, that does indeed require patience and a specific mood! It does sound like a lot of fun, though 😄
Whaaaaaaat… it’s still happening in my room haha! I told them “I can never remember all those opposites so I’m just going to not change anything”. They still whisper about it haha
Your classroom sounds so fun!!
