Friday began bright and early for Heather (5:30 a.m.!) when her fellow cheerleaders came to "kidnap" her. They usually do this earlier in the year, but their advisor was on maternity leave. These girls were quite nice and let Heather brush her teeth and hair before leaving to get cocoa and donuts.
I met Heather in the parking lot and we switched her p.j.s for her shadow costume. The upper core students were allowed to be in costume all day which is new for them. She was a Shade from the Fablehaven series, which is essentially a floating shadow. As you will see in future blog posts, this blurry picture is the best you will be able to see this shadow who tends to disappear in the evening light.
Friday was costume day, and Jenna and her friends (Kristen and Ashley) had fun during the costume parade. Jenna was very excited to be Raven from Teen Titans.
There was a jack-o-lantern contest, and Heather's Mickey Mouse design was selected by her peers to represent the class. By the time the viewing took place, Mickey wasn't feeling too well. Heather's teacher did some quick thinking and made the entry work for the Red Ribbon Week theme.
I helped coordinate Jenna's class party where we read a couple of stories, played "Mr. Skeleton, Where's Your Bone?", and had pumpkin (orange) and bat (rootbeer) floats.
