Opposite Day

This slice is part of the March Slice of Life Challenge on  Two Writing Teachers! #sol26. I’m slicing every day in March. Thanks for stopping by!

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.
