On Thursday, we hold our annual (17th annual, apparently) Quidditch Tournament. The other day, all four sixth grade classes were hard at work on posters. There were kids and posters and paints everywhere in the cafeteria. It was pretty cool to see the floor turned into a colorful art gallery. We don’t do enough of those kind of large-scale art endeavors like we should. The banner posters (our team name is Polar Vortex) will hang up on the gym walls on behalf of each of the four teams that will play all day long before crowds of younger students and parents and others.
I gave my blue t-shirt to some students to paint for me (they are working on their own, too). They gave me a nickname and a number, and I am just about ready to coach, and have a blast.
Then, on Thursday night, after a full day of running and jumping and competing, the students get to team up and play against us teachers (our team name: Pink Fury). I’m tired just thinking about it.
🙂
Peace (in the art),
Kevin
What a fabulous fun-filled group effort for everyone! I agree that we should have more of these opportunities. Good luck on Thursday!
So, so fun! I remember you writing about your Polar Vortex team during March. Your students will remember this experience forever. Good luck on Thursday!

Sounds like fun for everybody!

Good luck on Thursday,
So glad to hear that you never lost this fun in the new school world.
