Heidi's class earned another 100 points. Each time they do they get a reward. Their reward this time was a Super Sock Day. (This was Gerrit's idea.) So on Friday when they got to school they took their shoes off before they started the day. Heidi had no idea what she was in for.
The kids went crazy. Who knew the effect shoes had on eight year olds. I personally would never want to wear them but I think from now on second graders should. A regular routine like leaving their desks to come and sit on the floor turned into an escapade of turning, sliding, and jumping.
After about 5 minutes of this craziness Heidi told the class that the rules were still the rules even if they didn't have shoes on. She told them that if they couldn't follow the rules, then they would have to put their shoes back on. That idea seemed dreadful and they started behaving better. It was still a struggle to stay calm--but they made it through the day.Maybe they were also hyped up because of the McTeacher night from the night before. All the North Star teachers worked at McDonald's to raise money for the school. So many families came. It could have possibly been just as crazy as Super Sock Day.

Whoever would think that shoes would help children contain their joy for living.
What a cute idea. Good job Gerrit for coming up with that prize. I would have suggested candy, which might have had the same result for Heidi's crazy class.

you are a trooper handling that many kids!! What a fun and memorable day for them!
Taking off my shoes makes me want to act totally crazy and out of control, too. SO Silly!
ha ha... Super Sock Day. I think you should have coordinated a sock dance! You could have had some great moves with all that sliding.
