Halloween for a Cub

So half of the the school dressed up, and... the other half decided they would dress up as themselves. Lots of people find themselves board of Halloween, but that's not me yet! The top ten most awesome costumes today at school were:
  1. A gingerbread man
  2. A garden gnome
  3. Waldo
  4. A Unicorn
  5. Effie Trinket (there were a couple)
...okay, so I could only think of five. But there lots of witches, cats, vampires and Halloweeney costumes like that.
We staid pretty much on task- but it really depends on the class and it is Halloween. In Science, we're doing this "Alive of Not" lab and My teacher had this mushroom out yesterday... anyways, today it was infested in these worms and my teacher doesn't even know what they are. So cool, right?
I had a substitute in both Debate and Math, and we were as sane as any class will be on Halloween. As far as Language Arts and Social Studies go, my block class, my teacher really has things down. He gave us two tests- a cumulative spelling test and a Geography test. It's sure a way to get kids serious, or rather, calm.
Sixth period was wild, but that's because we decorated cookies and my teacher was all into the Halloween thing.
That's it for now...
In closing, HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!

The First Ever Raider Junior High Spirit Week of the Year

So, the time has finally come. At Cub Junior High, they've already had one. From October 9th to October 12th is Raider JH's first spirit week. Here's the details on the days:

Tuesday-One Day I...: This day is basically about something that's gonna happen to you in the future. I am going to try to get my hands on my friend's graduation cap, gown, and valedictorian stuff for this day. My teacher even said: "If you wanna get creative, you could make a costume for 'One day I will be dead!" I saw a post on my Facebook News Feed saying "Do you think it would really be that bad if I dressed up as a hobo on Tuesday?" I will have to look and see if she does!

Wednesday-Classic Theme War: The ninth graders dress up as classic Disney characters, the eighth graders dress up as classic superheroes, and seventh graders dress up as classic TV characters. I've been pestering my mom about ideas for it. I could be Lucy from I Love Lucy! Or get some friends to dress up with me and be Charlie's Angels!? I don't know, but I think this will be the funnest day.

Thursday-Teach Me How To Snuggie/Ice Ice Baby: We're suiting up in our Snuggies, extreme winter gear, and ugly Christmas sweaters for this day. I am wearing my polka dot Snuggie that's not even made from the Snuggie brand, but is still really cool!

Friday-School Color Day: Ninth graders wear black, eighth graders wear white, and seventh graders wear red. Pretty simple.

Blogging is great! No MLA format or in text citations like we need in my Humanities in Depth block for almost everything. I can't complain, though, because it is really a great class. I continue to love my junior high experience, and can only hope for all of the crazy adventures ahead!!
