October...
If yous asked me what my favorite calendar month of the twelvemonth was, I in all likelihood wouldn't tell Oct off the lead house of my head. But, every bit I sit down hither to write this post, I can't assist but call back close how excited I am close this month. October - the calendar month where the conditions lastly starts to cool downward as well as thus I tin sack vesture my cute autumn boots, sweaters, as well as scarves without melting. October - the fourth dimension of twelvemonth where I tin sack alive for a few weeks without turning the air conditioner or the heater on inwards my house. October - the calendar month of Halloween decorating as well as consuming WAY also much candy. And past times candy, I apparently hateful chocolate. :) October - fourth dimension for visiting pumpkin patches as well as exploring corn as well as hay mazes. It's also the calendar month of Fall Break as well as Homecoming. Plus, inwards Drumright, Oct agency the Oilpatch Jamboree.
This summer, I picked upwardly a duo of Halloween decorations at a yard sale. I've never decorated my classroom for Halloween before, but there's no argue I can't start now.
Haunted House record unopen to the door. My coworker asked me what was upwardly amongst the caution tape. Is your classroom a law-breaking scene? Ummmm....it really clearly says "Haunted House."
Pumpkin lights on my desk.
Were my kiddos impressed amongst all the difficult travel I position into decorating? (Because, yous know, it's as well as thus difficult to plug inwards a string of lights as well as inquire your pupil aide to wind record unopen to the door...) No. When they saw the decorations, they wanted to know where the spiders, spider webs, as well as bats were. #Sigh
Another pupil noted that my haunted household was missing a witch. Then, they corrected themselves as well as said that they had forgotten that in that place already was a witch inwards the room...
The Oilpatch Jamboree festival was before this month. I worked the Friends of the Library tabular array where nosotros sold cotton wool candy as well as bookmarks that were decorated past times the tertiary as well as fourth graders at our unproblematic school. The Oilpatch Jamboree is a celebration of all things Oilpatch. We boast that nosotros receive got the "most unique parade inwards the oilpatch." I'm non certain if that's verifiable, but I tin sack tell that it's the alone parade I've e'er seen that features fossil oil champaign equipment every bit parade entries. After a 5k run, the parade, as well as pageant, the town flocks to a commons total of vendors for food, fun, as well as music.
Here are the bookmarks nosotros sold. The kids did a fantastic chore of decorating them!
Somehow, I became the individual inwards accuse of making the cotton wool candy. Have I e'er made cotton wool candy before inwards my life? That's a definite no. I've eaten cotton wool candy, but I'm non certain that counts.
Luckily, our unproblematic schoolhouse main showed us how to brand a batch before leaving my landlady as well as me on our own.
I did purchase myself a novel autumn ornament piece at Oilpatch. A chevron, burlap pumpkin. When I went to hang it upwardly inwards my classroom, I could alone honor ane house that it would fit. This is truly the house on my classroom wall where I'm going to hang my college diploma when I lastly larn unopen to to framing it. (I did purchase a frame for my diploma at the terminate of this summer. I'm making progress. It may live tiresome progress, but it is progress.)
After hanging my pumpkin, I stepped dorsum to admire my work. That's when I realized that I had merely transformed my pumpkin wall hanging into "pumpkin pi." I call back it's fitting. I shared my excitement over this accidental mathematical disceptation amongst my students. Most of them rolled their eyes at me. Oh well. It makes me smile...
Other notable things from Oilpatch:
There was a Big Foot sighting. There were also niggling kids screaming as well as crying their heads off for fearfulness of Big Foot.
And, I got what every vegetarian needs: this notepad.
All inwards all, it was a non bad outset Oilpatch sense for me. The past times 2 years, I've skipped Oilpatch because I felt similar everybody inwards this town knows everybody as well as I know nobody. It's taken some time, but I've lastly started making friends as well as connections inwards this town.
