Tomorrow students are supposed to come to school dressed in all maroon and gold...or red and gold and black. Actually, I'm not entirely sure what the colors are anyhow. Something of the sort. Apparently teachers around here dress up, too, so I'll have to see what I can find. That's right, if you haven't guessed yet. It's homecoming week. We had superhero day. Sarah dressed up as Darth Vader, and Jules dressed up as Marge Simpson (don't know if that counts). Then there was jersey day, and there was celebrity day. I was going to go as Katy Perry, but realized I own no Katy Perry clothes, I don't have dark, Betty Boop hair, and I can't walk in heels...or sing "I Kissed a Girl" with my conscience still in tact.
Today I had students working on a predictions worksheet, but a few of them were talking, so I said "shhhhh." And they did. Like good students. But one girl said, "BUT IT'S THURSDAY!" "Yes," I said, "and tomorrow is Friday." She'll be fine. Nobody panic.
And tomorrow is Friday. I will be ready for 30 minute class periods, because we have to include a pep rally and chapel, oh AND school, too. So we're reviewing some of their most creative hypothetical endings to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and laughing. Should be fun.
Today I observed the senior dance for Rehoboth's Got Talent. Colby is coreographing the dance, and they're dancing to Kickin'.
I was going to buy Valentine's candy for all my students...but then I saw chocolate covered cherries and bought those instead. I realized that I have over a hundred students, and that would be a lot of candy to pass out. So I might draw a big heart on the board that says something like , "You're sweet." Maybe.
Anyway, this is choppy writing, and I'm suddenly very tired. Good night, and if I don't talk to you before then, Happy Valentine's Day. (I will not be seeing the movie).
