Spirit Week at School!

 Each day has a dress up theme and the kids had a lot of fun!  Above is geek day-Ashley took the route of sophisticated intellectual, carried a book, and told everyone that she was a librarian!  The boys are mad scientists!  I had fun spiking their hair with gel! 

The 5th grade did something funny on geek day!  One of the teachers taught all 4 classes the division song-to the tune of "the chicken dance."  The lyrics were something like this

First you have to divide
then you have to multiply
then subtract and bring down
the next number

Scott was hilarious showing us at dinner time!

 Tuesday was future self day-the boys were regular scientists and Ashley was a chef.  She wore the hat that Aunt Ann gave her this summer, an apron, and had spoons and pot holders in her apron pocket.  The boys have potions made of water and food coloring.


Wednesday was fashion disaster day.  It was hilarious-all wore mismatched shoes and clothes that didn't match.  We spiked hair again and Ashley had about 8 pony tails coming out all over her head!

 Thursday was look a like day.  You could either look like another classmate or Scott wore the Batman costume, Ashley and Hannah both wore their Cinderella dresses, and Ryan and Daniel both wore angry birds shirts.

 Friday was the house rally day so everyone wore their house shirts!  Even all the teachers are assigned to a particular house.

 The big gym-3rd grade up through 12th-it gets VERY loud!

 Scott was all ready to scream!

 This time, they had a separate house rally for the little ones and it was quieter and they were able to be more involved!

 They had made flags and pom poms in art class!

 Ryan was on the front row in the gold section

 Back in the smaller gym with Ashley's crowd-yes I ran back and forth so that I could see both rallies

 Here is the Brent Lion!

 Gold doing a cheer

 The main reason for the running back and forth-Scott wanted me to see him do his part in the relay!

 I was glad that I didn't miss it-he had fun!

 Ryan did too!

 The little ones got to play games also, here are some teachers demonstrating riding on a noodle!

 The administrators have these cool shirts with 1 square of color for each house-gold, emerald, and azure and then a burgundy one

 Mr. Hammett teaching the little ones a Brent cheer!  It was a fun morning and the gold house won!  They keep track of points through the whole year and there is a plaque that the winning house is engraved on at the end of each school year!
