Rating: A+

[Interactions are meant to be wide and varied!

For some sense of guidelines, Monday morning will be filled with tests, for new students and old students alike, until the lunch break. Students can talk before they begin or after they finish! There will be baked goods and lemonade as a treat to those who came in. If people need more time for the tests, they won't be allowed to leave the room with the others, though snacks will be made available for them as well.

The playground is open for after school or lunch break interactions.

All week long, the upper and lower grades will be pretty much mixed together until the grades are sorted out. Students are also encouraged to form study groups.

After that, the other classes - Music, Magic, and World Sharing - will continue on as usual, though Magic will presumably be more discussion based, especially for anyone with questions about the spirit's magic, and possible a few demonstrations, while World Sharing will again attempt to gather a list of places that they can explore in the battle dome during a later lesson.

On Tuesday the writing classes will be asked to turn in their book reports. Students are welcome to present them and ask questions of other students. The art class will be simple - taking an ordinary object and depicting it as something new, or in a new way.

Wednesday will be more of a normal class day - the few stragglers that haven't taken the test yet will be given an opportunity to do so.

Also, feel free to request anything specific or set up catch-all headers!

But really, just do what you want--these are just some suggestions as to what's going on, but they aren't the be-all-and-end-all of what you can do!]

lucetischool is still getting reworked with new details, so don't worry if something doesn't match up! General signups are still here.

[ Ikki shows up with Aang and anyone else from her house / house 58 who plans to take the test. Soren the bird pokemon is also tailing her, although he's...not taking the tests, obviously. She's bouncy to start with, but as she goes through the tests she'll get progressively less so, and will be least bouncy after taking the math exam. 8| MATH.

Since it's a "where are you" test, there were definitely questions that she didn't get at all, and eventually she started drawing flowers in answer of math things she just...did not know, although first she would have written down random numbers. "Eventually" means when she hit anything beyond simple addition/subtraction/multiplication. Fractions in particular would have gotten increasingly baffled and frustrated stares. She got a 79 out of 400 in math, so, uh, Y E P.

Lemonade and baked goods will cheer her up, but yeah. Expect her to look uncharateristically unhappy immediately post-tests. Soren will probably be trying to cheer her up, too. ]

[Aang was probably just as peppy and excited while walking her to the exam, making sure to fire some practice questions along the way.

And once the test has ended, he wastes no time in finding her, with a plate containing a Katara-approved amount of brownies for her and a balloon bearing a rainbow image. He excitedly greets her without yet noting her unhappy appearance.]

Congratulations!

[ congratulations on what? She is the worst at math ever, it is entirely tragic, okay. Soren personally thinks Ikki should cheer up and take those brownies now, but she sort of shuffles in place. ]

Congratulations?

Yeah, on... on taking your test. [He holds the balloon towards her.] How did it go?

[ ...Oh wow she missed the rainbow balloon, give her a second to smile a little at that, although not as much as usual. ]

...I don't like math. [ she might be pouting. 8| ]

[Something's definitely up. But Aang gives a lighthearted shrug.]

Neither do I.

[ blink. ]

So you didn't get a lot of the answers, either?

No. I was taking classes the last time school was open, but I'm still not that good at all the numbers. I don't see how it's that important.

[ Katara might have other opinions, but Ikki looks incredibly relieved. ]

I think I did pretty bad on that section. There were fractions and things!!!!

[Aang reaches across the table to place his hand over hers.]

Ikki, look at me. You didn't do bad or good. You did your best. I don't know a lot about fractions either! But that's why you're here in school, to learn. The test is just letting you know all the things you don't know yet, so now you can get to know them. And I'm really proud of you for how good you did at being Ikki.

[ You know what test Aang aced? The grandfather test. He definitely has that one completely in the bag. The relief and hesitant happiness on Ikki's face is clear to see - she's not the best at concealing emotions, ever. ]

So I'm not gonna be grounded for it?

[He can't help but laugh a little.]

Of course not, Ikki. If anything, you're getting raised even higher in the sky! We can take Appa home today.

Oh, really? [ That always cheers her up. She likes going flying. ] You know, I don't think bison fly in any world but ours!

[He gives a knowing smile and raises his finger.]

I know! I've been asking around and I haven't found any sign of any flying bisons yet, just ones that live on the ground! I guess that makes Appa and our world really special, huh?

They don't have flying lemurs, either, that I know about!! And yup! I think our world is the only one with bending, too.

You're right. Most worlds have magic instead, which is kinda like bending but it's not really the same. It's not as natural. But we can talk about it in world sharing class, so we can see what people have that's like in our world!

Should we do something special for world sharing class sometime?

Of course, Ikki! We're the airbenders of Luceti. We can put together something to show them all what being an air nomad's about!

I wonder what would be good to show?

Everything we can find! We can show them airbending forms and what we have around the house. If only my flute was here, I could try playing for them, too!

I wish some of our instruments were here!

Maybe Uncle Sokka could make some?

Yeah, we should ask him! It could be a nice break from all those weapons he makes.

Does he make gliders??

He does! He made one for Uncle Roku.

Do you think if I'm reaaaaaaally good he'll make one for me, too??
