Rally

I gave students class time today to work on their creative research projects. They were for the most part on task all day. So instead of talking about class today I want to talk about the rally. At the end of the day the school had a rally in the gym to end the winter carnival that has been going on all week. The winners of the talent show performed again, then there was a 4 square volleyball game, then a relay race where students ran from one side of the gym to the other, sat on a balloon and ran back until everyone has popped their balloon and it ended with a dodge ball tournament. The seniors won dodge ball of course. It was interesting to see how many of my students competed in the events. It seemed like a lot of them did. Maybe it is becoming cool again to be smart? I don't know. I hope that the stereotype of being lazy and not caring about school as being the thing to do ends soon.
