SURPRISE!

I have a funny story from class with my Junior 1 students.  We have a test next week and I was reviewing with them.  We were playing Jeopardy on the powerpoint, which is a lot of fun, and the question was what are the four seasons?  Fairly standard question.  He knew the answer and started right now, not to waste any precious time.  He begins to answer and says, “Summer, Autumn, Winter, SURPRISE!”   It was great.  I just about lost it along with the majority of my class.  He is shouting, “No teacher, no no teacher, it is not surprise, Spring, Spring!”  I had mercy and gave him the points…mostly because it was just too funny and he made my day. 

 

Surprise! 

 

Ps.  I did clarify that surprise is not one of the four seasons.
