Students do the darnedest things......

Even in the midst of their CAs.....

What happens when you get a bunch of students who finish their 2 1/2 hour CA in half an hour? The following occurred in just ONE particularly restless class:

- A continuous line of students asking for permission to go to the toilet
- Various arts and crafts projects being done. For example, ice cream stick sculptures, drawings, paintings, spaceships constructed out of rough paper and ice cream sticks and heavily decorated with pens,markers and highlighters
- Space fantasies enacted with abovementioned spaceships
- Ping pong balls being bounced
- Chinese books read [during english language exams]
- Correction tape/erasers/pens/pencils being passed around when they thought the teacher wasn't looking
- Students looking at Pokemon magnets
- Students twirling waterbottles
- Students twirling waterbottles at just the right angle to create a mini tornado inside

And the absolute winner:

A boy who attempted to create a modern art-type skyscaper structure with 2 waterbottles and his pencilcase on his table.

MAN! They don't just lie down and sleep any more.
