This is the Decomposers Ball, the celebration at the end of Mr. McGuan's 4/5 science unit, the Cricket Project. Everyone came to the Ball dressed as a decomposer. It's one thing to study how one form becomes another on paper-- a completely different thing to study your personal decomposer, what it does, what it looks like, and come up with a costume for him or her, and then party down! This class celebrates the evolution of life, love of learning, love of creativity, love of school and each other-- every day.
Congratulations to all of us for throwing in for a state-of-the-art building for them for the next 50 years.

Okay, not sure about all of these guys. From the left, a vulture, some kind of termite, some kind of scary green bacteria.
One of many parties and lessons this class will never forget.
