Spirit Calendar Week 2014

This postal service could hold upwards alternately titled: I Am Pi Girl.  This isn't the most math-y post, but if yous stick amongst reading it, yous volition larn to take in a moving painting of me inwards my mathematical superhero costume. :)

Technically, I larn paid past times my schoolhouse district to produce ii things.  Teach math.  And, oversee the pupil council.  Math is definitely my forte.  Student council is not.  I was non the type of pupil inwards high schoolhouse who would convey joined pupil council.  And, I would convey never volunteered for this position.  But, when they hired me, they needed mortal for the job.  And, first-year instructor me did non know how to tell "no."  Let's hold upwards honest.  Third-year instructor me even hence doesn't know how to tell no, either.

My big responsibleness amongst pupil council is homecoming.  We pattern as well as sell return t-shirts equally a fundraiser.  That's ever a big stress on me.  So glad that's over with!

Homecoming ended upwards existence reschedule this year.  I'm non fifty-fifty going to attempt out to explicate how that happened.

But, terminal calendar week was Spirit Week.  Take Two.  (Our kickoff spirit calendar week was solely ii days long due to Fall Break.  We celebrated 'Merica Mon as well as Twinsie Tuesday).



My StuCo kids decided to larn amongst a Disney subject this year.



Mon was Sleeping Beauty Day.  Much to the dismay of my students, I did NOT article of apparel my pajamas.  Even when I was a pupil inwards school, I never participated inwards pajama day.  There's only something almost wearing your pjs to schoolhouse that doesn't gear upwards good amongst me.  I told my students that I convey standards for myself that involve me non wearing my pjs to school. :)


Tuesday was Monsters University Day.  I did participate inwards this ane past times representing my alma mater, The University of Tulsa.  Over the course of education of the day, I was shocked past times how many kids didn't know where I went to college.  I told them on the kickoff twenty-four hours of school.  And, I convey multiple TU flags hanging inwards my classroom.  I justice I should actually larn around to hanging upwards my college diploma...  Some of my students didn't fifty-fifty know that the college I went to existed.  According to Google maps, it's solely 44 miles away from where I learn now.  And, nosotros don't convey THAT many colleges inwards Oklahoma.  I justice this is a sign that I should utter almost college to a greater extent than amongst my students...



Wed was Ohana Day.  Apparently, I demand to brush upwards on my Lilo as well as Stitch knowledge.  Because, I didn't know what the give-and-take "Ohana" meant.  But, equally I heard a hundred times this week, "Ohana way family.  Family way no ane gets left behind." In the past, Hawaiian Day was ane of the few spirit days I've participated in.  It's pretty tardily to throw on a Hawaiian impress blouse as well as a lei.  But, this year, my mom suggested that I borrow her Hawaiian muumuu.  Yeah...

I tried the wearing apparel on, as well as it was...well...not just what I commonly article of apparel to school.  It doesn't brand feel why I would hold upwards hence worried almost what other people would scream upwards of me if I wore this.  Adding a belt to the outfit made it to a greater extent than flattering.  And, I got upwards the courage to exit the solid inwards it.  What I didn't scream upwards almost was the weather.  The previous twenty-four hours had been pretty warm.  But, a mutual depression temperature front end had blown inwards the nighttime before.  I convey a actually bad habit of making wardrobe decisions based on the previous day's weather, as well as this was no exception.  

The walk from my auto to the schoolhouse inwards 37 storey conditions was QUITE chilly.  (And, for the record, that's 37 degrees Fahrenheit.  For my Celsius-minded readers, that's 2.777 degrees Celsius.)  All twenty-four hours long, my students told me I was insane for wearing a wearing apparel inwards this weather.  At to the lowest degree no ane was doubting my schoolhouse spirit.         


Th was Incredibles Day.  We were supposed to wearing apparel similar our favorite superheros.  This is the twenty-four hours I was most excited for.  As presently equally my pupil council kids planned this day, I started planning my costume.  I was going to hold upwards a superhero.  A mathematical superhero.  I mean, what type of superhero could hold upwards cooler??? ;)

H5N1 few years ago, my church building did a castle themed Vacation Bible School.  Since I was emceeing our daily meetings, I dressed upwards amongst a cloak as well as sparkly pinkish crown.  For the entire week, the kids called me "Queen Sarah."  Some of them would fifty-fifty bow downward to me whenever they saw me.  That wasn't just what I'd intended...

I texted my mom to take in if she knew where my cloak was.  Because, a cloak is awfully similar to a superhero cape...  My master copy innovation was to attach a giant pi symbol to the dorsum of my cape...  But, my sis vetoed this idea.  Eventually, I settled on making a pi shirt to article of apparel nether my cape.  The pi symbol was printed out as well as hence cutting out of imperial felt.  

Yes, I came to schoolhouse dressed equally Pi Girl.

    
My kickoff hr spent quite a chip of fourth dimension making fun of my cape.  They decided they could produce only equally skilful past times tying their jackets around their necks.  I sentiment this made them await similar they should hold upwards wandering around a province lodge myself, but...


I actually scream upwards they were only super jealous of my costume.  I mean, let's hold upwards honest.  How many people tin trace this off?  PLEASE produce non response that question. :)



Fri was our solely non-Disney themed day: Spirit Day.


My pupil council kids fifty-fifty created our ain hash tag for Instagram.  What tin I say?  Our return was #legit.


I'm hence proud of how difficult my pupil council kids worked to trace this calendar week off.  The amount of sentiment as well as endeavour they pose into their ain spirit calendar week costumes was inspiring.  I can't hold back to take in what nosotros come upwards up amongst for Basketball Homecoming!
