Guest Visitor

Today we were graced with the presence of a special guest visitor in our classroom. The students were very excited and the buzz lasted all day. Here is a picture of our special guest visitor:
Yes, that's right. We had a nice live scorpion running around our classroom. For those who know me, scorpions are my WORST foe. I hate spiders, but scorpions push it to the next level. We had some screaming, some jumping, and even a little temporary paralysis. We don't know where it came from or if it was all by itself. Oh, and we also found out that it's one of the most deadly scorpions. Ahh! The student who found it was about 1 inch away from it before he noticed. Well at least we have some excitement as the year is ending. Even if it means that I have goosebumps every minute I am in my classroom!

Mmm...

We are recently coming out of a food rut. When you are in a food rut, nothing sounds good and you are aching for some new recipes. This post is for those in a food rut or anyone else looking for a great recipe!

Chicken Teriyaki Kabobs

Teriyaki Sauce:
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
1 cup sugar

10 Kabobs:
3 Chicken breasts
2 Green Peppers
1 Onion (purple works great!)
1 Can pineapple chunks
10 skewers

Cook the teriyaki sauce just until sugar is dissolved. Marinade the chicken chunks in the sauce for 1/2-1 hour. Soak the skewers in water to lessen the blackening of the skewers. Cut the peppers and onion into chunks. Assemble the kabobs. Cook on the barbecue until done. Put the teriyaki sauce back into the sauce pan and boil for a couple of minutes. This makes a great sauce. These kabobs are great with rice! We did not have onions for our kabobs, but they add a great flavor!

This is a super easy, super tasty recipe. Happy Eating!

PS--I should mention that I got this recipe from Aunt Judy. Thanks for the idea!
