First, we took a “Following Directions Test.” I told the kids that it’s super easy – all they have to do is follow directions! (This is true, but easier said than done…)
I remember taking one of these trick tests when I was in third grade. I’ll never forget it!
Then, I told my kids that we were going to do word searches for fun word work today! I told them that the first one to find all of their spelling words would win a piece of candy. Little did they know, NONE of their spelling words were actually hidden in the word search. I had them going for a good 5 minutes… by then some kids were getting too frustrated and a few students had figured out it was a prank. They were SO mad!
Lastly, I tried to fool them into looking for the lirpaloof. Thank you Sunny Days in Second!

I watch the HIMYM finale last night and have still been processing it all day. In the end, I don't think it could have ended any other way. Hope you enjoyed it!

We were testing today so that didn't leave me a lot of room for pranks but those were good ones! What a long day you work! And I feel you on the sub plans…I hate writing them! Most other professionals just don't get how much it takes to be out of the classroom for one day! Get it done Girl!

Love, love, love your pranks. That spider in my chair might have killed me, though. YIKES!! I didn't watch the HIMYM finale, but all of my friends have been blowing up Facebook talking about it. Oh, and if you find that Online Shopping Help Group, let me know… I have such an addiction 🙂 Happy April!
