P52 / 13 / work

During the last week of classes before Spring Break, I put my life science students to work dissecting owl pellets! Yummy!!

This week I attended my very first St. Patrick's Day party. A couple from BFA hosted a green dinner, at which everything we consumed was green. The evening began with a walk around town where we found shamrocks with St. Patrick trivia written on them. Then, our meal was served in three courses:

• Course 1: Salad, cucumber dressing, broccoli, cucumbers. Pretty normal, until you add in the green cheese (Wasabi gouda! You have to see it to believe it.).
• Course 2: Here's where things start to get weird. Green noodles, Swedish meatballs in green sauce, and homemade sweet rolls with butter, both tinted the most magnificent shade of mint I have ever seen.
• Course 3: Green applesauce, green cottage cheese, and green lemon bars.

The beverage of choice was "pond water" - apfelschorle (bubbly apple juice) tinted green.

It was a fun evening spent with people I don't have the chance to spend nearly enough time with!

*TMI: I was concerned that there would be awkward ramifications of consuming so much food coloring, but today everything appears to be normal. Just thought you should know. :)



#238: chillin' & grillin' & double feature

double feature

That double feature defintiely needs an explanation. A game called Ultimate Ultimate uses the rules of Ultimate Frisbee, but with tons of other objects in play at the same time. Our middle school chaplain enjoys tossing in items such as a rubber chicken, a beachball, and gross things like hardboiled eggs, vegetables, and sausages. I actually watched an 8th grader take a bite out of the sausage in the middle of the game. No joke.

What is it Wednesday is baaaack! I'm sure you can figure out pretty easily what this is - today one of my 7th graders brought these babies into science class. Ah, the life of a teacher.
