No Costumes!

I was hoping that I'd get to wear my Halloween costume at school today, but alas, the school I was at was not doing Halloween parties or a "book character day" - which is more common.

The day was pretty good. A lot more chaotic at the end of the day, but it wasn't too bad considering they had a cookie party a half hour before going home and it was the day before Halloween. I didn't have the greatest plans to go off since the teacher I was in for was not expecting to be gone and unable to write plans up, but I made due. The other teachers were very helpful as well. The kids were happy because I let them draw for a bit, and I let them sit wherever they wanted for silent reading, and for free write. And we also played Mad Libs which pretty much guaranteed they will think of me fondly for the rest of time. :)

Bummer you didn't get to sport your costume, but glad you had a good/chaotic day. Nothing like the idea of good old-fashioned sugar overdose to get kids riled up. Have fun tonight.
Hugs, Rhonda

Good job coping in a less than ideal situation again as far as plans go. Glad you had a party to wear your costume for since you didn't get to wear it at a school. Enjoy the weekend!
Love you!!! MOM
