Ratatouille

I'm sure you're all on the edge of your seats to find out what Molly's lifelong goal drawing was of...
It was a teacher, of course. 
So obvious.

And why wouldn't she? 

Just today her mother witnessed her first mouse running across her classroom as she taught a lesson on healthy snacks.  Her mom screamed and jumped aboard the nearest chair.  Two of her students became flushed and jumped onto a table (not knowing what happened, only that their teacher was freaked).  Two other students stomped over the oven (where the mouse ran) and attempted to find it.

The mouse didn't appear- although I know the little squirt was in there.  Why?  Because upon my students observation, the oven drawers had breadcrumbs and mouse turds in them. 
Sick.

During the last half of class, I told the students they were on mouse duty.  Ovens were turned on and the students were to watch for movement.  One student even grabbed knives for the pursuit.


At the end of the day, the mouse was still in hiding.
These students won't remember how many calories are in a serving of chips, a mini-Snickers bar or what the combination of the two mixed with Strawberry pop smells like in the blender (okay, maybe they will), but I have no doubt they'll forget hunting down Ratatouille in Mrs. Boyds classroom.
