Spring Carnival!

The carnival was a blast! It was great to see so many Sofferin's Superstars at the carnival! But since Leo wasn't there, I got a picture of someone almost as cute - Mrs. Donnelly's son, Evan.


First up for the pie throwing booth were Mrs. Hayden and Mrs. Wood. Love the hat, Mrs. Wood!








Chloe nailed Mrs. Hayden right in the nose!


Great shot, Chloe!









Here goes Axel, ready to creme the fifth grade teachers!






What good sports they were!


The best part of the carnival was the dunk tank! Here's Mr. Sofferin while he was still dry, and still in one piece.



Look how long the line was to dunk Me. Sofferin!



Mr. Sofferin waiting to get dunked.


Mr. Sofferin getting dunked.


Mr. Sofferin...dunked.



Klea made sure she was first in line to dunk Mr. Sofferin!



Axel shoots...



And misses!



Even Mrs. Kornblum got in on the fun!


Here's former Sofferin's Superstar, Hey-Mama, taking her shot at dunking Mr. Sofferin!



Mr. Gibbon's boys lined up to dunk me!



But I got my revenge!





And finally, here's Mrs. Goodman's adorable little girl ready to do me in! She couldn't quite hit the target hard enough. So being a sucker for cute little kids, I took a dive and cut a chunk of flesh on the window of the dunk tank, resulting in the first stitches I've ever gotten in my life!



Check back tomorrow for pics from Cultural Arts Day!

Fashion Designers

This week our class is working on a special project that combines what we've learned in math, science, and social studies. The kids are taking on the role of fashion designers, creating their own fashion lines, based on scientific and mathematical specifications! The project involves what they've learned about light energy, symmetry, fractions, estimation, and specialization! I've never tried this project before, and just thought it up last weekend, but it's turning out to be a great experience for the kids. Check out some of the great designs they've created.
