St. Patrick's Day used to be one of those school days that created a bit of chaos. It seems that has changed.
Not surprisingly, Lena rolled into homeroom this morning all decked out in green. Her last name is quite Irish, plus she's the same girl that completely embraced Halloween by dressing as Doug from those Liberty Mutual commercials. She was sure to complete her costume with a stuffed emu.
A few other kids had some green on but many walked in completely unaware that there was anything different about the day. There were no flashes of green with their outfits at all.
In the past, that may have caused some trouble because many students have thought that not wearing green meant an automatic pinch as punishment. This year, I didn't hear a word about pinching anyone and that was definitely a nice change of pace.
It was definitely more subdued this year, though I did have student who wrapped green yarn around her thumb and index finger to accentuate her pinchers.
ReplyDeleteMy McSon forgot to wear green. He got pinched. St. Patty lives.
