Last week Princess Nagger’s school had a Curriculum Fair – basically an open house where you wander through the school checking out the classrooms your child spends the most time in, with their most fun/prominent work on display. First stop was Princess Nagger’s main classroom and her desk’o’stuff:
I was able to get a quick shot of a couple of her fellow classmates desks with their habitat projects proudly displayed:
Her Alligator Habitat Project made it safe and sound with its trip on the bus:
I was only able to get a closer shot of two of her classmates habitat projects before getting pulled in multiple directions:
I thought it was very clever covering the outside of the box with leopard print material for the leopard habitat, don’t you?
Princess Nagger wanted me to make sure I got a shot of their ‘Spicy Words’ board – according to Princess Nagger, “Spicy words are big words that you can use in a story and make it sound good.” I’ll take her word for it:
Next she wanted me to take a picture of her playing in the classroom cupboards…alrighty then:
Next we visited her Gifted Program classroom – and of course I was negligent in taking any pictures before we headed off to her art classroom. She wanted me to be sure to get a shot of the 4th grader’s art project – she’s excited to see that when she’s in 4th grade she’ll finally be allowed to make a clay dinosaur:
But the highlight of the evening (for Princess Nagger) ws running into her BFF (who’s a third grader and a full head taller than PN) and standing in a line for half an hour to purchase a Ned YoYo. You read that right – a YoYo. That was her favorite part. Well, that and trying to figure out how to get the YoYo’s to work right while standing in the middle of the art classroom as I’m nervously watching and making sure they don’t send the YoYo’s off into some poor student’s hard work:
Apparently the YoYo fun made the hubby nostalgic for all the YoYo tricks he used to do way back when – so he’s ordered himself a top-of-the-line (if there is such a thing) YoYo to teach Princess Nagger how to do tricks with – something about this particular YoYo will ‘sleep’ for 12 minutes. I smell some blog fodder coming on. Do you know any YoYo tricks?

This looks like so much fun!!! I miss doing things like this in school, can’t wait to do things like this with my girls!
Great job! One of my sons had to do one of these of some rare type of lizard once (that was interesting!) and the other had to do polar bears.
I used to love showing off my classroom to my parents. So much fun!
Looks like a fun day! Those habitats are really cool!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am definitely interested to see if the impending yo-yo experience generates a blog post. Or two or three.
I would like to know some of those spicy words. It sounds like your daughter goes to a great school.
What a fun classroom, love the habitat’s. Yoyo’s I was never very good with them, but had friends that were.
Looks fun!
Wow! Your DD’s sure a creative gal. Love her works! And it sure looked lots of fun to go to your DD’s open house.
I loved all the diaramas! It looks like a really fun time! Happy WW! Hop on over to mine!
Looks like a fun night, but made my eye twitch a bit… I teach at a Magnet school, so curriculum fairs and tours are a big part of our recruiting… and dioramas… I detest dioramas, even though the kids love to make them… no place to store them! That alligator habitat does look fabulous, though!
cool art work. I love going to those fairs.
looks like she has a nice school 🙂
Popped in to say hi! What a fun project!
How fun! I love seeing the things kids do at school. It looks like she had a great time!

That is a cool cover but I’m biased. Hers was by far the best one 🙂
Visiting (a little later than expected!) from the Alexa hop! Thanks for joining!
Great pictures!
They looked like they worked really hard – well done to them!

Wow!! Those were really good pictures! Your daughter is so smart!!!!
The school activity looked so much fun! And the yoyo – I was pretty good at playing yoyo. How about some loop-the-loop and walking the dog tricks? Oh, those were the days!
Thanks for visiting my blo.
i love the school projects, the lit’l aligator haven and the cheetah shadow box. makes me wants kids around to share these thing w/. only gifts my dogs leave me are ones that I get to pick up w/ paper towels. ungrateful beasts!
how cute! i love the dioramas. and the spicy word board! when i first saw the spicy word board, I thought, “what? the teacher is teaching them slang and/or naughty (adult) words?!?” haha. then i read your description and was relieved.
A clay dinosaur? That will be paradise for your little girl!! I like that spicy words board, so much in fact, that I think I’ll set one up in my study and try use fancy new words in blog posts each week.
