THE PARTY

My students just threw the raddest party ever.

Today is the last day of school before a week-and-a-half of spring vacation. I had students sign up for things like chips/salsa, candy, sodas, baked goods, etc. I also jokingly asked for students to bring The Fun. Everybody raised their hands for that one.

This morning, one student actually brought The Fun. Gio brought party hats, balloons, and those little party blowers. It felt like a huge birthday bash! Then some students found a pointer from another classroom and we did the limbo to Jack Johnson. We also played a great youth group game (Follow the Leader), mingled, gorged ourselves on completely unhealthy food (one student said he had a "kid hangover"), and generally had a fantastic last class.

I also discovered that one or two girls in the class definitely have a crush on me, which was made apparent to me by their constant giggling looks in my direction and saying my name throughout the entire hour. As they walked out the door at the end of class I heard a couple of singsong voices call out, "Goodbye Mr. V! Love you."
