Today our school had a Beach Party to celebrate CRT scores from last year. There were water fights/games, dancing, a slip n slide, a kid carwash, and a shaving cream fight. For most of it I was avoiding the messy/wet activities but I was dancing away with my kids. Then I decided you know what it looks fun and I should go for it. So I went for it....hardcore.
I hopped in on the shaving cream fight and you can imagine how much fun it was for 3rd graders to get shaving cream on a TEACHER! So I got covered and naturally cleaned off with them in the "carwash" after. And then I was drenched with them for the last hour of the day in class.
That's my plug. Sometimes you just gotta let go and have fun with them!
Love it! My favorite times as a teacher are the times when I get to just have fun with my kids!
