This video was created by Ocoee Middle School in the United States (Florida) last December to promote reading. Set to the Black Eyed Peas song I Got A Feeling.

Lyrics:

Gotta Keep Reading
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good good
book to read
Ooo hoo
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good good
book to read
Pick up that book
And turn the page
You’ll never know
Just what you’ll find
Information
Or Fantasy
Drama and Art
All make you smart!
I know that you’ll have a ball
If you turn off the TV and just read them all
Just think, with a book you’ll be so entertained
OMS has the best readers in F.L.A
Fill up my mind
With non fiction
Let’s get the facts
And use them up
Collaborate
Graduate
Feed your brain
And then we’ll just keep on reading
And reading and reading and reading and reading
And reading and reading
Let’s read it some more
Reading and reading and reading, reading, reading
Keep reading and reading and reading
Gotta Keep Reading
Ooo hoo
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good good book to read
Ooo hoo
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good good book to read
I got my book!
Do you have yours?
What is the title?
And who’s it by?
Where is it set?
Maybe in Spain?
Is it fiction?
Or is it real?
Will it be happy?
Or maybe sad?
Let’s see what happens
By reading on
Open that book
And have a look
It’s an adventure
So keep on reading that book
********************************

Keep reading and reading and reading and reading
And reading and reading
Let’s read it some more
Read it and read it and read it, read it, read it
And read it and read it and read it, read it, read it, read it
Here we come, here we go we gotta read
(read, read, read)
Easy come, easy go, now we can’t stop
Fill that shelf with those books
Way to the top
Round and round
Read those books
Around the clock
Action, Sci-Fi, Humor, Adventure
Biography, Reality, Mystery and Fantasy
Read, read, read, read, read it up
What ever you like
Read those Sunshine States
Take those Reading Counts
Gotta Keep Reading
Ooo hooo
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good good book to read
Ooo hoo
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good book
Cause this book’s gonna be a good good book!
Ohh hoo..

I learnt a new word:

Defenestrate: to throw something or someone out of a window.

Now, in the past I have wanted to defenestrate a photocopier. What have you wanted to defenestrate?

This Maths teacher put a lot of effort into his April Fool’s day joke for his Maths class this year.

Source: Youtube (April Fools: Math Class Shadow) or here.

This one required much more effort than the Joke I sent out to staff at my school via email:

Hi all,
Have been asked by IT to ensure all computers are thoroughly cleaned before  the end of term, by clicking on the following link:
http://tinyurl.com/2pzegg
Please do as soon as possible, only takes a few minutes and runs automatically.

If tinyurl is blocked from your location, original site is http://www.raincitystory.com/flash/screenclean.swf or download here.

At least a number of staff found it amusing, while some thought it was serious and asked how long it had to run for.

I’m sure all of us have thought the same at some time.

I came across this honest lesson evaluation via Twitter.

Most of the male staff members at Orana took part in Movember 2008, albeit a little late. Mr Jones thought we should join in and support the cause, though he decided that a couple of weeks into the month. So the last day I shaved, and therefore the day I started Movember, was Friday, 14th November. As we started late, we decided to do “Mocember” for a little while also – and set down Wednesday, 3rd December as our great Shave Off Day.

We asked the kids at school to make a gold coin donation, for the pleasure of sitting in the hall to watch us shave off our moustache. We managed to raise $460. Not bad for three blokes with a bit of growth on their top lip.

These were taken at various times throughout the event….

Many of us are always seeking a pay rise, especially in these troubling economic times. This appeared in my Inbox as an answer.
