All of us supervisors dressed up like monkeys for the staff talent show and did a dance to the song "Hey Hey we're the Monkees." We even had one supervisor in an ape costume with a guitar! We also used band~aids from our emergency fanny packs as a quick fix to cover up graffiti in the tube slides. That job was awesome! I had to leave that job to student teach... so things got even better!

Karrlin, I like how you have that little bit of wisdom at the end...nice and so true. I know how hard it is to fit all the pieces together to make it sing out right...you do it well. June Maddox
ReplyDeleteThanks June! We actually dressed like monkeys for the staff talent show. It was really funny too because when we rehearsed we were great... then when we had the show and actually put on our monkey masks... we could not see! Shows the value of a "dressed" rehearsal I guess! : ) Thanks for coming by!
