The first day of school

On our very first day of school this year we had a visit from "The Bug Chef!"  He explained that many countries around the world cook with bugs.  He demonstrated some of his favorite recipes and called some of our students up to help prepare and EAT the food!  He cooked mealy worm "french fries," stir fry scorpions, and skewered and grilled grasshoppers. He was entertaining and informative!

What goes on behind the scenes...

This is what our classroom looked like when we first walked in!

And this is what it looked like the morning of Orientation! We're ready for an exciting new school year with a GREAT bunch of second graders!
