A Spring Cleaning Fit


I wouldn’t call it any other way, because it is indeed

a sudden attack of an illness in which somebody becomes unconscious and their body may make violent movements

All was ok in my world, I was able to sleep until 7 (a luxury for me), got to work relatively quickly, had nice music in my headphones and even sang along, when suddenly!

Искра! Буря! Безумие!

I knew nothing until I dug myself from under a pile of papers for lunch. Now my classroom looks as if some horrendous local disaster struck and wiped the humanity (my common sense) out.

Some notable findings:

1️⃣ Past papers of my predecessor – 6/10.
Found some written assignments of my 11th graders and it was interesting to compare their level in 5th grade to their current level. What sucked though is the fact that I had to clean after somebody else... I do that enough at home, thanks 🤨

2️⃣ Staples – 1/10. I hate stapels. Why, might you ask… I had to unstaple about a hundred stacks of paper today, their only saving grace is the fact they are convenient… Until you have to remove them so that the papers can be recycled.

3️⃣ A squeeky crocodile – 9/10 – loud and cute. God knows why I have it.

4️⃣ 7 brand-new notebooks – 7/10 – I don’t like new ones ‘cause I don’t want to spoil them...

5️⃣ 3 chocolate bars and one whole box of fancy chocolate – 8/10 – it’s like finding a treasure trove, but snaccidents happen a tad bit too often.

Alas, I’ll have to leave my classroom in the condition in the photo, ‘cause… well, reasons...

Have you ever found anything interesting in your cupboards/wardrobes/bookcases while spring cleaning?

Yours,
