This week is basketball homecoming week. Our school is BIG into homecoming activities. We have special "dress-up" themes each day. For example, tomorrow is "camo day", when everyone is going to wear camouflage.
Today's theme was my favorite: "Fake an Injury" Day! Lots of kids have used braces, crutches, bandages, and painted bruises. My daughter and I got really creative! I have a broken heart -- two red heart pieces pinned to my sweater and glitter-glue tears on my face.
My daughter's idea for a fake injury is even more creative. She is wearing a big fuzzy white sweater, fuzzy bear slippers, and we painted three long red "gashes" on her face. Then, we pinned a sign to her jacket -- "Polar Bear: 0".
Spirit Days are so much fun! To me, it doesn't really matter if our teams win or lose. We have had fun celebrating our school spirit nonetheless.
A great book for middle grade kids about friendship and learning more about your community:
The Visconti House by Elsbeth Edgar.
