Yuck!  Today was our first nasty, rainy day of the school year here on the farm.  I handled all of

the soggy animal care before class began, so the kids didn't have to go out in that mess!

As the rain steadily poured, we were nice and toasty inside!  We began our day with a turkey review.  The kids did an amazing job with their creative writing assignment, and I was pleased to see so many using the terms that they used last w

The class drew names for a little ($10 max) gift exchange.  They will be keeping these a secret until the last day of class before Christmas break.  We'll celebrate in class under the tree on 12/10!

The turkey paper quilling projects were amazing! They completed the feathers and feet today, and they were able to take these home. I am very impressed with the skill and the determination that the kids showed with this. When I presented this, I explained that I had other plans just in case this was too tedious. Not one student opted for the easier version!

The rain really puts a damper on "getting our wiggles out", so we had to stop for an impromptu dance party!  First, we turned the Chicken Dance into the Turkey Dance.  Then, we just cranked up some music and jumped, danced, and twirled!  There is no way on Earth kids can stay cooped up for that long AND stay focused.  It's good to get up and move!
