We did the article on Thursday, and before I had a chance to say anything about a "follow-up" on Friday, they were planning to bring binoculars and carrots to school. So of course I volunteered to bring carrots. I gave some other teachers orange feathers to "casually" share with them during the day. There were other classes at recess when we went out who ended up following us around on our search, all buying into my second graders eagerness to find the lirpaloof. When we finally wrote out lirpaloof backward on the sidewalk, one kid said, "Check it out! It says April Foll and today is April Fools' Day." Then they all went back to searching for the bird. It was a good five minutes more before anyone caught on, and I'm not sure that one boy ever did. We took a great pic at the end that is now the desktop background on my computer. They were such good sports, but stunned that I "would do such a thing!" Thanks for a wonderful start to our spring break! I'm still grinning!Second Grade Sillieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189355679357385515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562817105461401104.post-50119512184003364642016-03-31T16:43:06.280-04:002016-03-31T16:43:06.280-04:00SO excited to do this tomorrow!!
