Mini-Celebrations (Vegas)


If you see Ms. Wysong or Mr. Radarian around the school (FAs extraordinaire and fellow '09 corps members) you can tell them they are two of my favorite teachers. They have picked up and invented a ton of hilarious, quick celebrations they use to break up the monotony of class, celebrate small successes and boost morale. They’ve found that using the same celebrations all the time rapidly make them boring and lame; the kids love making Mr. Radarian’s weird noises and goofy gestures (which I’m pretty sure he makes up on the spot 80% of the time), or "riding the roller coaster" with Ms. Wysong. I challenge to come up with a new 2-10 second “celebration” to introduce at some point during your next lesson that the kids can look forward to doing with you from now on.
