Monkey Business

If you're in Miss Klipfel’s class you will get jobs. The class jobs are called Monkey Business. In order to get a job you need to fill out an interest form and Miss Klipfel will pick your job for you based on your application. One of the jobs is messenger, that person gets all the notes and papers and takes them to the office every morning. Smile manager is someone who finds memes and jokes and puts them on the big whiteboard in the front of the pod for you to laugh at in the morning. Tech expert is the person who helps out with problems with Chromebooks. They also plug in the computers at the end of the day. 

The caboose is someone who stands at the end of the line and makes sure everybody is out of the place they are in. The custodian’s job is to clean and organize the classroom so it’s nice and clean the next school day. The door holder is second in line and holds the door for everybody and then goes in front of the caboose. Class DJ makes a playlist to play while working or whenever we listen to music. They take suggestions from the class suggestion list and make it a playlist. Last but not least, the person who’s on vacation, that person has no job and waits till the next shift to get a job.

But wait. There are more jobs than that. There is attendance person and attendance fills in everyone’s lunch orders and if someone is absent they mark them absent. How do they do it? Well, When you walk in you will see a computer on the Chromebook cart. The next job is the greeter so after we do the Pledge Of Allegiance, the greeter does the greeting of the month (which is a different language every month.) The next job we have is the substitute. The substitute is a really easy job. If one of the workers is sick they can take their place. The next job is the line leader. The line leader is also another easy job. Line leader is the first person in line and they set an example for our line.

Next up, is the cubby monitor. The cubby monitor monitors the cubbies outside our pod and makes sure they are clean. Next up is the direction director who is the go-to helper if you forget a direction. The second to last job is the librarian. The librarian makes sure all of the books are in order. They can also do references for books Miss Klipfell is reading plus they get to do read loud on Fridays. Now the moment you've all been waiting for! The last job is… Wait! Drumroll please. The last job is… *drumming* the social media ambassadors. Wait, that’s us! We social media ambassadors post stuff like this and you read it. Yup. You're just reading what we made. Isn't that cool?
