Heck, I even dismiss my students to "Na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye!". <BR/><BR/>The kids groan with glee. They are the only ones who didn't bat an eyelash when I showed up each day of the week before Christmas with a different set of reindeer antlers, elf hats or santa springs on my head, but you know they secretly relished it!<BR/><BR/>My favorite moment was a walkthrough by a WestEd consultant, my principal, our school curriculum director and a very, very well dressed assistant superintendent. You should have seen Mr. Hoity Toity pants dancing with us to "Whomp, there it is!" I gained a whole new respect for that man!<BR/><BR/>I figure if I have to be in school for all of my life, I'm gonna have me some fun! <BR/><BR/>Now I gotta get me some plastic poultry! Yes, Siree!<BR/><BR/>Ms. Bellringer, I do believe we are kindred spirits!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10334957251889705326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474701136538889471.post-74022535789151372492007-10-28T09:07:00.000-05:002007-10-28T09:07:00.000-05:00excellent "rubber ducky"article.

Thanks for the laugh. A dear friend is a professional dance instructor (and a linguist, writing a book on the language and pattern of dance) whose last name is Fowler. You got it -- there is a chicken hat that his students fear and desire. Those who fail to hold their frame while doing a sideline pass may have a rubber chicken dropped on them at any time. The arm on the man breaks formation by bending like a drawn bow -- the "poultry position".Katharine Eliska Kimbrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195060585728465093noreply@blogger.com
