I did some announcing at Family Day and I wonder if I should've made an announcement about our strange attire. 😅
Family Day was a smashing success. We had over 160 people for the day. Our guest pastor smashed chapel out of the ball park. He was funny, charismatic, and engaging. He had some audience members act out a bible story pretending they were flannel graph characters. Pastor B was David, our tallest student was King Saul, and three other kids were David's mighty warriors. It was the story of David and his men hiding in the cave while Saul, ahem, took care of business.
After chapel we had time for a few Fine Arts Fair presenters before lunch. Then after lunch we had the RAD zoo talk, which is a reptile discovery zoo type thing. The guy didn't want to use a mic, so it was a little hard to hear him. He showed kids a gecko, bearded dragon, corn snake, another kind of snake, boa constrictor, a couple varieties of tortoises, and a small alligator. Once the snakes came out our 1-2nd grade teacher went to 'help' in the kitchen. She's terrified of snakes. A few of the kids got scared too, especially when the alligator came out.
He went long, and we still had over half the Fine Arts Fair kids to go, so we didn't wrap up until about 1:40. Oof. There went my afternoon plans... oh well. To be expected. We spent the rest of the school day taking down tables and chairs and then went outside for recess.
Holy cow, yesterday's outdoor recess did wonders for my class, either that or this is the calm before the storm (we're supposed to get another snowstorm with high winds tomorrow, unless it all comes as rain). They were so much calmer today! We had a super productive, quiet morning up until chapel. I couldn't believe it. Thank you God for answering prayers!
