Pie in the Face

Last month was National Reading Month, in honor of Dr. Seuss whose birthday was the 2nd of March.  To celebrate the occassion and get the students to read we teachers hosted several activities throughout the month.  One such activitiy was a school wide reading goal that was set at the beginning of the month.  If the students reached their goal then they were allowed to watch "Horton Hears A Who" on the last Friday of the month.  If they EXCEEDED their goal then one student from each grade got to throw a pie in a teacher's face from the same grade.  Also, the principal would have "slime" (colored flour water) poured all over his head.  With incentives such as that . . . it came as no surprise . . .

they exceeded their goal.

Being the person that I am I made the silly mistake of volunteering my face to the cause. Here's the incriminating photos to prove my story.  =]

Here is Chelton (the student chosen to deliver my fate) all poised and ready to go.

Is it just me or does he look a little to excited to be doing this?

Whip cream anyone? :)

Nothing like a good hydrogenated oil and cream facial!!

 

Oooo! That's a little scary lookin'!

(At this point my contacts were fogging up pretty good! Didn't know that could happen!!

See you learn something new everyday! =] )

Here is Mr. Mackay (6th grade teacher), Mr. Hanson (the principal),

Mrs. Huber (4th grade teacher) and myself (5th grade teacher) in all our messy glory!

I hope the kids enjoyed the entertainment!! They did an awesome job at getting all those books read! The things we teachers do in the name of education.  I must really LOVE my job! Oh wait! I DO!!!  =] 

Until next year . . .
