Teaching out in the Country

I haven't blogged about my country life in a while, but two things happened the past couple of days that I just had to share.

First, I took my class on a field trip yesterday. On the way back to school, our school bus driver slowed down a little and called out to the kids, "Look, there are a few deer on the other side of the highway". As soon as the kids saw them, one piped up, "Cool, let's shoot them!" Only country kids.

Then today our principal came on the speaker system and announced that we would be staying in for the lunch recess. The reason? There was a bear spotted just down the road near the school. That would be my first indoor recess for bears.
