My class knows how to bring the chaos, especially some of them. Pro level.
I can only imagine the state of some of their bedrooms. A few of them have a pile of detritus under their desks every day. They get a bandaid and just let the wrapper fall to the floor. (I tell them to pick it up. I try to say it nicely, but it's possible I have a tone after it happens a few times.)
They lose pencils seemingly mid assignment.
There are about 5 jackets that no one claims as their own. They just languish on the hooks and someday I'll just give up and give them to lost and found and they'll make their way to Goodwill which is the eventual destination of lost items.
The computer situation has been better since the sticker system, but a student lost his computer and we looked everywhere and it was in another student's desk. He had put it there the day before.
But why?!?!?
Yesterday kind of took the cake in the chaos masters' repertoire though. During literacy, two of them lost a tooth. Two. In a span of about ten minutes.
Of course they had to show everyone the tooth they lost and then open their mouths wide and show the bloody spot left behind and everyone clamored around for the exciting event. I told everyone to go sit down over and over until they finally recovered.
I never know what's going to distract them.
I just know that something is going to distract them.
