Secret Pals
A Blog by Chicken Wrangler Sara
My new school did secret pals for the month of October. It was a really fun way to get to know the other teachers.
We would leave things by the sign in computer and they would disappear throughout the day.
The best part is always the timing of the surprises.
My secret pal got me a travel mug and flavored coffee on the very day my 5th and 6th graders made me want to quit. I’m glad I didn’t.
The next week she got me an orchid plant. It is beautiful.
Beekeeper Brian researched and found it is best suited for east facing windows. My kitchen window just happens to face east. Now I enjoy it as I’m working in the kitchen.
I can also see it when I am walking back to the house from the chicken yard. It is a very pleasant sight after mucking around in the mud collecting eggs and feeding chickens.
It makes me smile. I hope it lives a long time.
