Ms. Mack's classroom

From the moment I arrived the classroom was buzzing with activity on this Friday before Xmas vacation. Ms. Mack had little assignments for me like making 26 goody bags for her children. Each one had a candy cane, pencil, pencil sharpener, note pad, chocolate kisses, a stamp pad, and peanut butter cups. Also i was tasked with a 6 page stapling hw assignment. The main event was cookshop! and I was the kitchen help. We were making bean burritos, with a special curriculum by the DOE.
I washed the lettuce and pepper while ms. Mack instructed the proper way to hold the plastic knives, and elicited descriptions of tastes, smells, and stories.
Each student received a plastic cutting board and the class followed directions while eagerly awaiting the finished burritos, which were eaten with relish (and salsa)
Then came my homemade chocolate chip cookies, which I put in bags for each one to take home.
Then cleanup! Yes each plastic cutting board and everything we used had to be washed, dried, and stored until next time.
After the students were dismissed, we re-arranged
all the tables and chairs to make room for one more new student for Ms. Mack.
Too busy to take pix, so use your imagination.
Fell asleep on bus home, but left my nice white hat on bus.
Enjoyed some rice and beans and a chicken burrito
With George.
