There's nothing like school pride. We had an amazing day as River Kings & River Queens! The school day started off with a mini Homecoming breakfast (
egg casserole,
banana bread, and apple juice...click the link for the recipes). After the students ate they decorated spirit posters (black & red, black & red!) to hang on their lockers. While they were decorating we received the call that our spirit parade was about to begin! The school lined the halls and cheered on the high school band members, cheerleaders, flag corps, and football players. Afterward, fifth grade greeted 200 preschoolers, showed them around the playground, and got an extra "pep rally" from the band and cheerleaders. We then took a break from the fun to get down to business; yes, we squeezed in some learning (reading, math, ST math). Finally, we ended our day with a coloring contest, a strategy game (Dots and Boxes), and face paint!
On a softer side: Today was a day to remind me that our teachers care about our students and our students are simply wonderful, wonderful children. Honestly, nothing can make a teacher's heart flutter like watching high school, elementary, and pre-school students interact. Something else that gets to me (in a great way!): listening to my students sing along to our classroom CD. It's pure bliss!
Until next week, let's continue to be awesome!
