Coolest School Ever

The teachers I work with are amazing. These are the lessons that are going on in my building TODAY:

• One of our 3rd grade classes are all wearing mouse ears. They finished reading The Tale of Despereaux and are having a cheese party while they watch the movie
• 4th grade's language arts lesson on mechanics (grammar) has the kids working at a "chop shop" cutting apart sentences and then putting them together in a new way to make the more interesting. They are "grease monkeys" with black paint on their hands and faces and they are calling their teacher "Boss" all day.
• 4th grade's science lesson on the weather included a visit from the Channel 11 News weather van.
• The 7th graders are walking around the building with popsicle sticks taped to their fingers. Their lesson on evolution had them picking candy out of shredded paper with and without these appendages.
