The Dennis siblings sneakily played a practical joke on me this morning during math. They hid this lovely rubber snake on my chair which surprised me when I went back to my desk. Apparently this was well planned before school! Some people may see this as a negative thing to do to a teacher, however, it is amazing to know that the students feel comfortable enough in our relationships to play practical jokes on me. Building relationships with students is essential in creating a learning environment that is truly effective. Hopefully this prank war doesn't get too carried away!
