The grade 8s are making pizza. This, of course, includes, cheese. Yes, yes, phobias and cheese. Try to keep up with me here. See the last entry. The phobia victim is not in the grade 8 class, but the class right after.
So. The 8s are scrambling to finish up and get to their next class. I'm scrambling to tidy up and prepare for my next class which is trickling in around the edges. I lead them along with my preamble about our food based science experiment, and if we put cream into a jar and shake it, what do you think we'll get? (Um. Not very many kids guess correctly, in case you're wondering. Maybe 10 percent) Since one of the guesses was cheese (a very common answer, that and ice cream), one boy perked up in alarm.
As he rapidly scanned my work station for clues, I noticed that the mozzarella block was still out and quickly threw a towel over it. I'm sure he saw... but he didn't flee. Any predictions to make about the upcoming term? I'd love to hear them. Just remember, truth is stranger than fiction.
