I'm not a particularly big fan of Halloween. For a number of reasons. And today, I can add one more to my list.
Fresh off the Halloween craziness from yesterday, my students came to school today nuts. I mean, really antsy and crazy. The madness continued all day. Their brains were not in school mode but their mouths were in "chatter-singing-jokes-silliness" mode.
Why?
A constant flow of candy. The kids were constantly sneaking candy throughout class. The crinkle of wrappers was disruptive and I kept finding wrappers and stray Skittles on the floor. Woof. No matter how hard I tried, I could not seem to put a stop to the peaks and ebbs of my students' blood sugar. And the result was madness.
Thank goodness Halloween does not come around again until next October.
