Today was wonderful. Scaringly wonderful. This week is red ribbon week and so every day is a different dress-up theme. Yesterday's was stuffed animal day and today's was nerd day. I have always loved red ribbon week and I'm so glad to be back in public school, so i can participate! I dressed my City Year normal look up a little with a few small modifications: lopsided ponytails, glasses with a band aid in the center, my polo buttoned to the top, and my ensemble would be incomplete without the coffee stain, where I "accidentally" spilled coffee on myself this morning.
Today was also our middle school Falloween dance. It began right after school, and the amazing teacher I work with is also in charge of student government and all the school events. Needless to say, I spent the majority of my day getting things ready for the dance. It turned out great! City Year hosted a Haunted House that they had to walk through in order to get into the dance. It was great! I was a zombie and I kept screaming, " Help I'm trapped!" "I need a date to the dance" and different things like that. After the kids went through, it was time to chaperon. Some chaperons might like to hang back and be ready to pounce if kids get to close. But for me, I take a different approach. Instead I get right in the mix with everyone and pull out the most ridiculous dance moves I know. Sprinkler anyone? What about the Egyptian dance? Or the hand rolling that is ever so popular? Dancing super silly actually helped keep kids from dancing too close. I distracted them. And some of them even joined in, either to make fun of me or to have fun with me. lol It could have easily been either one. Anyways it turned out great!
Happy Falloween!
