* Do you like surprise parties?
* What is your favorite color?
* Are you allergic to anything?
* What do you have planned for "Golden Time" on Thursday?
(Golden Time - is free lesson if students behave all week and we get all our work done)
The questions were then followed later in the week with telling me they can't wait until Thursday and all of the class knows why, but me. It didn't take long for me to realize that they were planning a "surprise" birthday party for me. In theory, it would have been quite a surprise as my birthday is not for another month. On Wednesday I noticed my kids whispering something to Mark, which is when I realized that he was in on it too. I was impressed they sought him out at school to make sure he could come and help with the "surprise".
The kiddos were cute the day on Thursday telling me they were excited for Golden Time, and then I noticed some whispering more than normal, but tried to keep up the act that I didn't know what was going on. The kids had arranged for another teacher and Mark to distract me, while they quickly got the cake, set up the classroom, and got ready to surprise me.
I walked into the room to absolute chaos of kids yelling surprise, stuff written all over the board for me, and cake and gifts being shoved into my face. I appreciated their thoughtfulness.
Here are some pictures from our party. Mark was able to stay for about 10 minutes before his next lesson and then the kids ate lots of sugar and then went home. ;)
They put blue and green sprinkles on it to represent my favorite colors! :)
These are my 5-4 darlings!
One of my students was so excited to tell me how he changed the schedule from "Golden Time" to "Party Time"
