Our Words For Today Are Duck And Deer
Or if those words were not originally in the lesson plan for a fifth-grade vocabulary class at Lloyd Road Elementary School in Aberdeen, New Jersey, they soon became the words of the day. Because right in the middle of the class, a large deer crashed through the window and right into the classroom.
ABERDEEN, N.J., Oct. 17 (UPI) — Fifth-grade students in a vocabulary class in Aberdeen, N.J., got an unexpected lesson in animal sciences when a deer crashed through their classroom window.
Teachers Brenda Adelson and Bonnie McCullough had just moved from the front of the room when the buck burst in at 10 a.m. Tuesday, the Asbury Park (N.J.) Press reported.
The deer trotted through the classroom into a hall, into the vacant nurse's office, the staff lounge and finally into the empty cafeteria of Lloyd Road Elementary School.
Worst of all, the buck did not have a hall pass. School employees and police managed to herd the deer back outside - where it promptly attacked its reflection in another window. Deer are such vain creatures.

No deer left behind.
