After the ELA today, we sat in a circle and each student said two, three or four words to add on to our thoughts about the ELA. Here's the result:
The ELA is gone. I feel good. The ELA was very frightening for some, and there were weird stories in there. They were cheesy. We were relieved when it was over. I sorta hated it because there were boring stories in it. Now that it's done, it should burn in the underworld. Yay, it's gone! Hip hip hooray! It was very fair. I'm glad it's over for good. Murdering the sign was fun, especially when we punched it. It won't be missed. It's over, hooray!
("Murdering the sign" refers to the "Testing: Do Not Enter" sign that gets posted on our door while we're testing each day. Since today was the last day, we passed it around the circle and each student tore a piece off. We then beat the pieces up for 10 seconds, and then we forgave the ELA. As an act of closure, each student ceremoniously put his or her piece of the sign into the recycle bin. It was beautiful.)
