Boy am I glad this week is over! The kiddos have been crazy since Wednesday (Halloween, the candy hangover and sleep deprivation day after, and who knows what it was today...).
My class puts on a carnival for the rest of the school the Friday after Halloween. The students plan everything; I'm just the organizer. That means they bring their own supplies too. This year they went all out with the games/booths. We had hairspray, nail polish, face paint, 'fishing', football, basketball, soccer, hockey, guessing jars, bottle flipping, poke a pumpkin, a cup game, and musical chairs. Some bought new candy to give out as prizes, some brought leftover Halloween candy to give out. Everyone had a blast! (Even the 7-8th graders who are sometimes hard to entertain).
We didn't get a ton done in the classroom, but everyone turned everything in that they needed to, read to self, did their spelling tests, and worked on their NaNos. I even got them to clean up our classroom at the end of the day (they do that every day, but today was particularly messy). I'd count that as a successful day.
