Some of you know that I am a die-hard New York Giants fan and they won the Superbowl last night in an amazing game all around (as the underdogs trying to keep the Patriots from securing a spot as completely undefeated).
Funny school story: I live in Patriots territory and on Friday, the Student Council hosted a fundraiser spirit day to support your favorite sports team. I, of course, wore my New York Giants tie but I was surrounded by Patriots fans.
In the middle of a lesson, a fifth grade teacher marches his entire class into my room, with a megaphone, and they begin chanting “P A T R I O T S” as loud as they can. The kids are all armed with balloons and then they pop them, and drop them on the ground, and march right back out. It was a nice laugh (I’ll remember those faces for next year, I am thinking)
Then, at the end of the day, a preschool teacher walks in and gives me a Giants helium balloon. Apparently, they had a Patriots and a Giants balloon and NOT ONE KID wanted to take home the Giants balloon. So they decided to give it to me (my kids have had great fun with it).
So, today will be sort of a fun day. I need to buy a few New York Posts and festoon the fifth grade teachers door with some good headlines. (all in fun)
Peace (in the Superbowl),
Kevin
WHAT a GAME! Too bad you are not living around my territory just for the next few days, anyway. Here it’s all GIANTS! The girl at Dunkin Doughnuts expects the mall to be packed with shoppers cashed up from game bets.
It would be great to actually recreate the day today at your school…Voicethread…and DS…I know, I’m so obsessed.
This morning I was hard at work with my Apple guy working on keyframes and video cam…
Love it,
Bonnie
