the fifth grade
so the fifth grade looked cool. they pulled the dark curtains and turned on a multicolored disco ball. the food of choice was orange soda pop and shortbread cookies that looked like witch fingers. but the best part was the music...
"it's over, it's my turn now, it's over, the game's shut down... sorry!.." they were singing. then i heard the familiar beats of one minute man come on... "HOLD UP! who's cd is this?" i asked. "mine," said chanella, who was dressed as a movie star "but they're all clean versions, mademoiselle marion. don't worry."... sweet. then jlo and ja rule came on. then a lil zane song. man, these kids had good taste in music! i walked in and i felt like i was in a club, but with cleaner air, no alcohol and a better tempered crowd. and these kids could dance too!! and i'm not talking "vancouver special" here... i'm talking c-walking and that! they are gonna be cool cats when they get big.

hallowe'en parties
... remember having them in elementary school? you know, when the teacher organized who would bring food and drink and music, so you could all have your little party in your classroom with all your little friends... well, yesterday was hallowe'en and since i really didn't have any work to do, i party hopped. here's what i thought... keep in mind this is all very exciting for the little ones...

kindergarten - lots of candy. it's like they charge up for all year on this day.

grade 1 - games like musical chairs burned off their sugar intake. good thing too. they,d end up a lot like the kindergarteners...

grade 2 - cookies, doughnuts, and cupcakes! these kids are gonna be fat... lucky for them i helped them out by alleviating some of that off their plates ;op

grade 3 - jello jigglers, bite sized brownies and chips. yummy!!

grade 4 - not much of a party. i didn't get much food either.

grade 6 - all they listened to was n'sync. they so define the meaning of pop. i got a bag of candy from them though.

note i missed the 5th graders. that's because their party has to be told about in great detail... i gotta get back to work though, so you'll have to wait...
