Robots!
Today the kiddoes played mad-scientist and invented themselves an army of fearsome cardboard and tinfoil robots. We practiced our maniacal laughter to get warmed up, and my assistant was dubbed the official classroom “Igor”. We then proceeded to furiously glue bits of plastic things to other doodads, and assembled all the pieces of our new machines. My personal favorite was Rockko, the googly-eyed wonder-bot, who not only plays video games, but delivers the pizza and handles his eight year old master’s narsty math homework. We also decided that the robots were going to throw a party after school when no one was around, the festivities including rummaging through the prize boxes, ordering chinese food, eating all the crayons, and listening to Little Romeo at full volume. I didn’t know cardboard robots liked chinese food, but even art teachers learn new things, i suppose.
