So last week in my first period, my tenth graders asked if they could bring food to class for a sort of party today. I said that as long as we did what I had planned for my lesson, then they would be welcome to bring in food. I think they were expecting that I would say no. They were pretty surprised.
But here's the kicker. I passed out a signup sheet so everyone could write down what they were going to bring, in an attempt to help them actually remember. And only three kids did - one girl brought donuts, one girl brought juice, and one girl brought paper plates. They begged to have another chance next class. Let's see if they actually remember.
