Resurrecting My Blog

So...we're two weeks from the end of the first quarter and I'm just now writing my first blog entry!  It's been a busy and tough year so far (details to follow) and I haven't felt much like thinking about school in my spare time.  But a combination of the high spirits induced by the start of a three-day weekend and the nagging of some faithful readers led me to finally get on here and write something.

I thought I'd start by sharing some photos of me from Homecoming Spirit Week.  These costumes aren't quite up to the level of the Mullenator, but they're still pretty good/embarrassing.  Every day that week my students starting laughing at me when they walked in the room, so I think that's a sign of success.

Decade Day - If only I had been able to find a scrunchie and my old globe earrings, I would have looked exactly the same as I did in 1990.

Teacher-Student Swap Day - The teachers got way more into this one than the students.  The teens dressed as gym teachers so that they could wear sweats.  We raided the lost and found, borrowed clothes from our students, and wrote ourselves fake shoe passes for not having the correct uniform shoes.

My favorite part of the day was accidentally sneaking up on students who would jump out of their skin when they realized that the person standing behind them was a teacher and not a student!
