Salmonella

My cooperating teacher Mrs. Cluff suddenly got sick in the middle of the school day and up and left! She called the office, said she was leaving and not to worry about a sub, and left in a huff. I turned to the kids in the Catering class and said "Oooo, she is mad at you!" and they really thought it was something they had done. Haha ha, the Catering kids are great. Most of them can cook better than I can.



But the next class is a bear! Both my 7th and 8th are monsters! They're packed with over 32 students when the cap is 28, mostly freshmen and sophmores, tons of special-ed and ESL students, and right after lunch, so they are bouncing off the walls! I've decided that these 2 classes are my trial for the next 2 months. You know how you generally have one big trial that becomes your focus everytime you pray at night? Its my Foods I classes.



So the kids come in, "Where's Mrs. Cluff? Where's Mrs. Cluff?" and I reply, "You know, she ate something bad at lunch and suddenly got a food-bourne illness! Which ties in perfectly to our lesson today! Have a seat!" And the kids were glued! They were the best they've ever been, listening to all of these stories about e. coli, salmonella, hepatitis, and staphylococci. At the end of class, we looked at all the germs on their hands by squirting on "glo-germ" and looking underneath a black light. I made them go back like 3 times and scrub scrub scrub till their hands were raw and there wasn't any glo-germ left :)
