Interesting day - went NOTHING like my lesson plan indicated LOL!
It's "on the farm" week for the preschool, so one of my kiddos' mom said she'd bring an animal to show them, since they have a farm. She showed up this morning with a big playpen fence, a dropcloth, a cardboard box, a dog carrier, and her middle school nephew and unloaded three baby chicks and Tinkerbell the piglet LOLOLOLOL!!!! I had told all the other teachers that we'd have farm visitors and they could bring their kids to see if they wanted, but they hadn't been terribly interested. When Tinkerbell started voicing her opinion of the whole arrangement, however...
We had to go in rotations. Two classes of PK2s, three classes of PK3s, two classes of PK4s... then the third grade teachers asked to visit, since they're reading Charlotte's Web, then the first and second grade classes came down to see (because the Title One teacher who has an office in our wing told their teachers about the piglet,) then the Kindergarden teachers asked if Tinkerbell and Co. could stay till their kids finished in the library LOL. There was pretty much no getting back onto a lesson plan today... but it was a BLAST.
Tomorrow the boyo is bringing Bun Bun on his leash, and another mom from another class said she had a turkey she wanted to bring. As long as we don't have any cattle or mean-azz roosters, we should survive the week relatively intact... I think...
I'm just hoping our WONDERFUL custodian's good humor holds out!
