...spontaneous applause...

My students were quietly working on an assignment.

Suddenly we heard mild applause coming from the class next to us.

Immediately, without hesitation, my class responded by clapping a little louder.

As if we were at a youth rally or something, the other class responded with more enthusiastic clapping and even a few, small cheers.

Of course my class erupted in celebratory noise.

Yet again, the cheers of my students were matched.

Then, as if my class knew what was going to happen, no one answered back, but one student got out of his seat.  He walked to the door between our classrooms, opened the door, and said, Could you please quiet down?  We are trying to work here.


Naturally this led to a good chuckle from both classes.

But the student turned red & walked back to his seat after the other teacher asked about the three metal paper clips that were pinching his ear.

My students sure are entertaining.
