Hello, Spirit Week


It's spirit week. This means all week long the kids are going to be anxious, hyped up, jittery, and on edge.  This madness began today and will culminate on Friday at Pelham Bay Park. It'll be Field Day, which means we'll all get wet pants from water balloons. Better than wet pants from the alternative(s)!

Today was "Choose Your Own Way" to show spirit. My class voted on "Hats and Glasses." 


I had been keeping my fingers crossed for fake noses, mustaches, and black frames. No such luck. 

One of my favorites got through a loop hole in the rules. He for sure wore glasses, but the hat was a little iffy. His reasoning was that, today, his hair counted as a hat. We had to give it to him. I mean, how could you not? 

I think he's been gearing up all year for this. Me, I'm just having trouble finding a somewhat professional-looking outfit for multi-color day tomorrow.

  1. Love the last kid's hat. How great is it that he gets to wear a "hat" every day.

  2. The young student is quite accurate--at least since biblical times, one's hair is his/her crowning glory---perhaps this phrase is mostly applied to women, but even with or particularly with Samson, hair is a major part of a guy's presentation. However, Brave Bunny is especially partial to the lad with a baseball-style hat emblazoned a heart and accompanied by his very stylish shades. He is a young man to watch in the future.
