Spirit Week or Been There and Did the Denim
It’s Spirit Week next week, which gives a bit of a break to the countdown tedium of stuffy classrooms. Rumor has it we have AC. Thanks, I’ll get back to you on that.
I’m one of those wacky teachers that likes to dress up, yet not so much I don’t regret it by third period. Wearing silly gets thin after about two hours for me.
Here is the venue: I am so open to suggestions
Monday: 90’s–denim?
Tuesday: 80’s–legwarmers workout spandex?
Wednesday: 70’s –Flashdance?
Thursday: 60’s–I got the overalls and love beads (peace out)
Friday: lost in the fifties (I own saddle shoes)
This will be a nice respite from the dress code violations of tube tops and short shorts. “But everyone else wears them!”
I don’t get into countdown mode until after Memorial Day weekend. But I’m reconsidering it after this week.
If you’re doing the ’60s, maybe a tie-dyed T-shirt? For 70s inspiration, I would look at the American Girl doll called Julie. The clothing she wears looks pretty historically accurate. 80s was the era of BIG hair (think Melanie Griffith in Working Girl).
Big hair has always fascinated me. Time to Google. One problem is after school our department is presenting our new curriculum to superintendent. Think he’ll take me seriously in big hair and bell bottoms? ๐
Time for a quick change, I’d say! Although if he’s into history, he might understand! ๐
