Before class begins, Willy, a stuffed horse with magnetic feet, is hidden somewhere in the room - the first student to find him may select a prize from either the toy or candy buckets.

It's great watching the students scrabble around on the floor before the bell rings to start class. They never give up asking me for "hot or cold" hints - although I've yet to provide any.

The little music box (plays Yankee Doodle) is my signal for everyone to take their seats.
