Our variety show performance...you don't want to miss this!

This is our first grade team variety show performance! I teach at a very fun school. We are constantly thinking on fun ways to act silly and bond with our students. During the last few week before summer break the teachers of my school choose a day to perform our annual variety show. Each grade level comes up with an act/performance. This year my team decided to spice things up a bit and do a synchronized swimming act.

Oh wait, the last week of school? Report cards are due, field day, award ceremonies, crazy kids....how did you find time to practice? (you might be thinking) Well...that was the tricky part. My dear friend Allison came over to my house on a Sunday afternoon while little man was napping and we choreographed the dance on my front porch in front of a window so we could see our reflection. We were shocked that no cars honked at us...they probably wanted to! Then we had 2 days to teach it to our team...4 teachers and 4 teacher assistants. And this was no easy routine either. They were amazing sports, even though I was at times a drill sergeant  and I leave you with.....

Keep your eye out, I'm getting a blog face lift very very soon. It's in the works right now, and I couldn't be more excited!
