I am the head wrangler, Dressage Queen, and Rodeo Princess of my classroom. It's my room, I pick the decor. We're Stallions, as in Sweaney's Stallions. Fortunately the kids indulge me. Here are some of their recent contributions. 
A recent piece of art work
From a student last year; it's a bobble head pony!
Purchased at our school book fair by a horse-crazy student. She was delighted that I LOVED it!
This drawing was obviously inspired by Jai Ann's picture. No matter, it went up on the wall, too!
Brought this year. The tail was missing so I added a bit of yarn - there was a hole where the tail should have been. Now Donkey (?) has a tail. You can't even tell he's been "altered;" I should have added a rear view!

wonderful, horses at work; ) another difference: in german high schools the teachers don't have rooms, the classes do. so my man gets to walk all over the school all day.

Some of our teachers are floaters, too, Lytha. Elementary teachers stay in one room with their kids. Junior high teachers sometimes move around as do some high school teachers and of course all the kids move. I did my senior year in Spain, and like you say, we stayed in the room all day while the teachers came to us.

Horses tend to do that, don't they? :0) Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey.
