In my 8 years of teaching I've had very few April Fools jokes played on me. I don't know if that means the students like me or not. I was excited for April 1st this year because I was hoping to go out with a bang. I want to see some creativity!
4 years ago two students in my 9th grade class took silly pictures of themselves and hung them all over my room. They put them over the pictures of Parker and Jason on my desk, over my posters, and one on the projector screen. It was quite comical because the girls were obviously in the school bathrooms taking them on their cell phones (which are not allowed in school). I have a good relationship with these girls and hoped this would become a yearly tradition. Nothing happened 10th grade year. Last year they took one of the toy trinkets off my desk and put it in jello. If you watch The Office you will see the humor in this prank. I thought this one was hysterical. I had high hopes for this year.
I arrived in my classroom Friday morning to find everything normal. While I was erasing the boards for my 2nd period class Carolyn and Carley came in and hung odd family and pregnancy pictures all over my room. Really? That's all they could muster up? I was quite disappointed. AND I was in the room when they did it.
I even had my favorite two classes on Friday and still nothing... oh well.
The seniors have played some good pranks over the last two years. Since our school is in the city the juniors have to park on the street. Parking is also a hot mess with the juniors. Last year the seniors parked their cars just far enough from each other that it looked like you could get in between them, but couldn't. This year my advisee had her dad get someone from their moving company to park an 18 wheel moving truck on Roland Ave. Driving into school with a huge moving truck with its 4 ways on was priceless. The juniors were not laughing of course. I think only 3 girls got to park in front of the school.
Anyone have any good pranks happen to them or do something funny?

I think that April Fools is lost on most people. We joked about it yesterday but no one was serious
um... on my way to work one of my teachers sent me a text saying that she couldn't stop vomiting - i said ok and called a sub for her... then she sent me a text 20 min. later saying she took some meds and she thought she was going to be okay - i told her i already had a sub - she was already at work she was trying to play a trick - they ended up having to call the sub and telling her what was going on and not to come in (luckily i heard she laughed about the whole thing) also a bunch of my staff parked down the street - but it wasn't that noticeable when i arrived because parents were parking in the spots - i did notice classroom 4's lights were out and when i went to check - they were there - they were trying to make me think no one was showing up... good try i guess....
