Well, this day was not supposed to be Herbology day, but the teacher made a boo-boo and forgot to remind the students to bring their things for Potions sooooo, we switched to emergency plan B (and I, of course, gave bonus points to the students who were more responsible than myself). Despite its being plan be (and the stupid idea of showing a video without the Korean subtitles - it's attached to the title), the kids were big fans of Day 5. Their health-nut sides (which reminded me of
JoshandKelli Taylor) would not allow this day to win a Students' Choice Award, but I very much enjoyed the cleanup process, as I have absolutely no problem eating refined sugar, especially when my students leave it sitting, untouched, on their desks for me to throw away.

| This was the workbook page of the day. |
In spite of their relatively reasonable fear of fat and sugar, my kids managed to have big smiles on their face, especially after I told them to imagine the fertilizer chunks that they needed to crush were their siblings' heads... perhaps I'm a bad influence here...
 |
| All smiles. |
Anyhoo... I was espically forgetful, and forgot to bring a mixing spoon, sooo... I resorted to this option:
 |
| I didn't tell them this wasn't my original plan. Never let them see you sweat. |
We "planted" our "flowers," and then I told them they needed to sample it. That's when they got pretty nervous.
 |
| Hufflepuf[f]s, hoping the Gryffindors will show some of their alleged bravery and sample the stuff first. |
In the end, the kids liked it well enough to ask for the real recipe to make it at home. So, I'm counting this one as a win. In case you want to try my Korea-modified dirt pudding recipe, fertilizer = Oreos, bird dung = Philadelphia Cream Cheese, melting snow = custard-flavored yogurt, and lizard milk is milk. Mix it together in quantities that produce mud-like effects. It's not really an exact science.
Here's hoping the Venomous Tentacula doesn't sneak up on you. It's teething after all.
