Randall works its way toward 'Z Day'

There is no doubt that Randall Elementary School pupils are looking forward to "Z Day," which will be the last day of the school year before they all "zoom" out of the door. But between now and then, Randall is running through "alphabet countdown days."

Mrs. German's and Mrs. Thompson's kindergarten classes are participating in the thinking man's alphabet soup. Today, they had to mix up the alphabet a little -- it marked the school's "violin day" and was scheduled as "M Day," which was a mismatch. 

So, they traded in the "M" for "N" and "Name Day" was created. Pupils and students choose the name they wanted to be called.

Some of the selections: Cinderella, Sponge Bob, Michael Jackson, Shark Boy, Flora, Belle, Austin, Carson and Snow White.

On "A Day," the children learned about artist Mary Cassatt, who liked to paint pictures of mothers and children. The pupils painted a picture of themselves with their mother and wrote about it.

Some of the other days thus far: "I Day" was Interesting Fact Day and pupils shared their own "interesting facts" about their families. "J Day" was Joke Day and "E Day" was Exercise and Eat Right Day.

But something tells us here at "Talking Taylor Schools" that the best day of all will be the one that starts with a "Z" and ends with a "zooooom!" Right, Sponge Bob?
