IT'S SPIRIT WEEK!!!

This week was my school's homecoming--so bring on the wacky outfits and fun spirit week activities!

Monday was CRAZY SOCK DAY and let me tell you the socks were insane! I wore some funky Christmas socks and one of my students wore bacon mustache socks, while another attached crazy items to their "normal" knee high socks.

Tuesday was INTELLECTUAL DAY. Students were allowed to dress "Nerdy" or Business-like. Many of my students chose to go for the business look and boy did they look cute! It was a great day, because many of them also played the part of businessman or woman, so they were on their best best best behavior! The students who went the nerdy route looked great as well--there were many Steve Urkel's in the building. I simply created a light bulb headband, because I wanted to have lots of bright ideas!

Wednesday was TWIN DAY! My cooperating teacher and I dressed alike. It was so much fun and the students reaction was even funnier! One student did not even realize that his teacher and I were twins until the end of the class period...let me tell you that we were pretty much identical from head to toe minus a few different genes. :)  All day I felt like I was seeing double.  There are two particular students that look a lot a like without dressing as twins and boy did they confuse me all day! (plus it did not help that I am still trying to learn names...haha)

Thursday was LIGHTNING SPIRIT DAY!!! I had to look like a teacher today since we were going in public on a learning expedition, so I stuck with my normal Normal Park shirt.Some of the students however went all out! One kid even died his hair BLUE for the occasion! At the end of the day we got to go to a pep rally! It was SOOOOO LOUD and CRAZY but SOOOOOOOO much FUN!!! The kids really enjoyed it and it was so much fun seeing all of my students that are in the marching band play their music!

Friday was HAT DAY! I did not realize how many crazy hats are truly in this world until students started pouring into the school! They had "spiked" hats, floppy hats, super tall hats, and just down right insane hats! Who would have ever known?!

Spirit Week and Week Two of my Student Teaching experience was WONDERFUL!!!
