Well, we got a special delivery around 9:05 this morning. Mrs. Boley brought in a cloth bag full of stuff.
There was a letter signed, Mrs. SC aka KK and a recipe…
According to the letter, the recipe was at least 805 years old. We were to take broken peppermint candies and stick them down in to sugar. She provided everything, including the containers. She said the recipe is full of hope and love, and in 2 days something magical would happen. She also reminded the children not to be sad when Gumdrops leaves, because he is leaving to make so many others so happy. She sent 3 containers…we guessed one for homeroom, ELA, and Math. OOOOOh, what could it be? My learners predicted a magical candy cane tree might grow, gifts, a beautiful flower, and other wonderful predictions. So exciting! Friday can’t come soon enough.
Throughout the day, Gumdrop pulled his silly stunts…
He hid in Bryn’s backpack AGAIN! That was his 3rd time. He really wanted to go home with her, I guess.
At one point, he got my chicken finger puppet to play cards. Mackenzie said he had a good hand. Clever little elf!
