Open House – the big extravaganza of the school year

With new contract in hand, went all out for the school Open House – barn in place, cow heads on display, self portraits, draw along pigs, chickens and horses, sheep jumping over  fence, ducks, chicks, chicken coop pictures, students’ puppets on display, their plants, agriculture papers and vegetable baskets, Ron’s 5 million spotted cows on display, student’s cow windsocks, refreshments – applesauce mini muffins and corn bread mini muffins; down loaded hee haw music for the background (thanks to Katie Richardson, sweetie pie 4th grade teacher), butterflies fluttering, mini books by students, classroom books on display, cleaned plastic picket fences….feet hurting, back hurting, total body aches – it was “SHOW TIME” Friday night.  Here are some of the pictures.

Then we get to take it all down and start a new unit!!!!  Yayyy….”Under the Sea”  weeeee

Mrs. Choy in her wet suit and scuba equipment; mermaid tails for the girls and shark heads for the boys?  All of us sitting in a “yellow submarine” facade?  Making octopus stew?  Dissecting a squid?  Eating calamari that all the students touched?  Fish printing?  The possibilities are endless!  Stay tune!

I’m out of my freakin’ mind.  Must be the 8000 millig motrin.
