Your class? Can I assume for your classmates & not a bunch of 6 year olds you teach?
I'd recommend:
St Mungo's Museum of Religious stuff (has lots of interesting & offbeat things plus the necropolis is a short walk away: worth visiting for the views & old tombs)
CCA (Centre for Contemporary Arts) on Sauchiehall St (main street) for food, bar (on 1st floor), galleries & art shop (plus beautiful interior)
Glasgow University & Hunterian Museum: close to Kelvingrove Park (handy spot for a sneaky outdoor alcoholic picnic) & Museum (though may be closed for major renovation works).
Walk up Great Western Road & down Byres Road, visiting the Botanic Gardens where the two streets intersect.
The new snazzy science centre & sticky up aerofoil (which last I heard didn't work as planned) down at the old Govan docks.
Museum of Modern Art (slap bang in the centre of town), near all the shops (Buchanan St, Sauchiehall St & Argyle St)
The Barras, a "market" in the most generous sense of the word (down at the end of Argyle Street) but watch your purse / belongings & don't mistake the blokes in tracksuits for sports enthusiasts.
Glasgow's Peoples Palace: for history as experienced by the "real" glasgewians.
Can't recommend places to eat or bars as you're much younger than me (& I'm veggie) so you probably move to the beat of a different drum.
Enjoy yourself, eat a fish supper, quaf some buckie & you can't go wrong!
