Second Grade: Day 162

Today is Friday and it’s Spirit Day: lucky penny.

Spirit Day: lucky penny day is to dress in brown, wear something round (??), or wear something with Abraham Lincoln.

Don’t ask me who comes up with these Spirit Friday themes because all the kids were a bit confused with this one. What do you wear that’s round?

We did have a 1st grade girl dress up as Abraham Lincoln! I heard that she had a full beard and top hat, wish I could have seen her. Isabel said she couldn’t take her eyes off the beard!

A few kids wore pennies in a different ways… a 6th grader taped one to his forehead (Isabel thought that was funny). A 3rd grader had a shirt full of glued-on pennies. So some of the kids got creative with the theme.

Most of the kids and teachers that participated wore brown. Isabel didn’t participate with this Spirit Day like she has in the past, since she didn’t have anything that was brown, round or had Abe Lincoln.

We started our day with a surprise visit from the High School Jazz band!

It was awesome to have the 9th – 12th grade students perform for us in the gym. Isabel and her fellow classmates got to sit in on performance while I got to hear it while with my class. They sounded great and Isabel said she enjoyed hearing about all the different instruments that they shared. The band played for about 45 minutes before leaving.

Isabel didn’t have anything else to say about her day. She got her yearbook today. I enjoyed looking through it after school and seeing a few pictures of her.
