As part of Literacy Week at work, I get to wear this shirt. I have other lit shirts, but this one is my favorite.

A Day in My Life

January 24th. Welcome to day 23 of #ADayinMyLife and Day 2 of Literacy Week. Today was Talk up a Good Book day at my school. I had to start my first class by explaining the empty bookshelves. It’s hard not to be too opinionated, but I did alright. This class particularly didn’t like the fact that books are not available to them now. They were my standard class, so I’m glad they care. They are…

If you ever talk with an elementary school teacher, they will all tell you how awesome Dr. Seuss is, and how fun it is to do something out of the ordinary. Today, my kiddos and I read this book for literacy week, and then we had some delicious green eggs and ham! They were so excited, and it was such fun to see their reaction.

For literacy week, the school asked teachers to dress up as characters from their favorite books. The admin staff were all characters from The Hunger Games. My co-coach dressed in bunny pjs for Pat the Bunny (or something). My teammate was dressed in a Hogwarts shirt and a Ravenclaw sweater for Harry Potter.

I dressed as a Greek goddess (I called myself Thetis but it didn’t really matter since no one knew who that was) for The Song of Achilles, using an old Halloween costume I’ve had since I was in 8th grade.

I even braided my hair and put it up in a Grecian-esque style.

For Literacy Week, we had a door decorating contest. Teachers had to make their classroom doors look like book covers. One door I made to look like The Song of Achilles. The other, I paid homage to my sister’s book, The Rose Chateau. Each ‘rose’ was hand cut, spiraled, and rolled, before being taped to the paper. The trunk is just brown butcher paper cut into strips and then crumpled.

So it’s Literacy Week at my school. The student news is giving book trailers. The students who are caught reading get a wrist band that allows them to dress down on Friday (today). The teachers all decorated their doors like book covers. I integrated important historical women authors into my lessons.

Our principal is going to kill us.

He came on the afternoon announcements yesterday and congratulated the students who’d earned wristbands. He said our school was gonna have it’s very own Hunger Games tomorrow and the students who had wristbands were the tributes who got to participate. He kept repeating “May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor.” And he ended it by saying he was off back to the Capitol and would see us tomorrow.

Like, I don’t think he’s ever read The Hunger Games. I don’t think he even knows the plot of The Hunger Games. Otherwise, he’d know these are all TERRIBLE things to say.

I was sitting at my desk with my face in my hands going “Oh my god. Oh my God.” and one of my students asked if he was allowed to slap our principal.
