End of Day Scene – 5th Grade

3/30/2017

The Place: Room 49.

The Time: Roughly 1:30.

The People: Mr.  Hardy sitting at the Bean Table surrounded by anxious students.

The Situation: Many, many 5th graders have a mere 15 minutes with which to take their AR quiz and/or math homework. After that, the assignments are missing and students will start their spring break with a Red Light.

Mr. Hardy: Okay! Who here needs to take an AR quiz?

(3 hands go up)

Mr. Hardy: Okay, you three hop onto the Chromebooks as soon I'm done here. W, what do you need?

W: Can I look through the Lesson 28s? I think I already turned that in.

Mr. Hardy: Done! Here you go. C, what do you need?

C: Can somebody show me haw to open the Chromebook?

Mr. Hardy: A, show him how it's done! Alright, what do you need?

K: Here, taste this goldfish and tell me if it tastes minty. (Waves a goldfish under Mr. Hardy’s. nose.)

Mr. Hardy: (speechless)

(I'll be laughing about this for years.)
