Before I left Amanda gave me a shocker pen. You know, it is one of those trick pens that isn't really a pen. When you click it an electric shock goes through your hand. Well, I successfully pulled the trick on quite a few people before I started teaching by saying, "Look at this really cool pen Amanda gave me," including my sister Lauren. After Lauren got shocked, she said I HAD to take it to school. I was pretty hesitant considering a former Colorado deputy may serve over 27 years in prison for child abuse after he tasered some willing high school students, and I figured using a shocker pen on 6-11 yr. olds was roughly the equivalent.
I finally mustered up enough courage to take the pen to school. The kids loved it, and we missed about ten minutes of class while the kids ran around the school crazily sharing the pen with every student and faculty member. It was quite a riot when our principal Mr. Kim became a victim of the pen.
Here is a video from a hidden camera of some 1st and 3rd graders using the pen for the first time:
