spirit week was hectic. i seen it coming though. i mean, it's the first time ilima was doing spirit week for awhile, of course it wasn't going to be flawless.
observations overall
my observations overall . first, i noticed everyone was working separately. this isn't a good thing. we're supposed to work together, so we all know who's doing what, this would've helped with people asking less questions. next, i noticed not a lot of communication. either someone wasn't listening, someone was trying to do things on their own, or someone was just not agreeing with others. it was a mess this way. some ignored others, which really didn't help with the problems we already had. i have to admit, i didn't help with my crappy attitude.
positives and negs about dress out days
positives about dress out. the positives of dress out days was that there wasn't a day where no one dressed out. even though not a lot of kids dressed out, there was always at least 10 people at the least that would dress out. also, some people went all out on certain days, which was entertaining to watch ;p negs on dress out days. some negatives about dress out days was that not as much kids as we expected to dress out, did. i was actually pretty disappointed in a lot of people for not dressing out on certain days. some negatives that had to do with people not dressing out was b/c we had to wear uniform still. this didn't help a lot and also convinced people that there was no point to dress out.
2 ideas for new dress out days & what days i'd replace them with
polka dot day --> culture day
turn back the clock pre-1950's --> turn back the clock before 2000's
the reason i would change polka dot day into culture day is because culture day would be pretty interesting to see. espicially since their is different nationality kids here in ewa beach. also, polka dot was boring. atleast at culture day, hopefully people would actually come through, and maybe be dressed in like a kimono, or you know, dressed like a immigrant, or plantation worker, lol idk, thats why it'd be interesting to see. espically the creative people. i'd also change turn back the clock pre 1950's to turn back the clock before 2000's because it gives kids a wide selection from anytime before 2000. they could even dress like egyptians if they wanted.
4 suggestions for mini activities
one suggestion for a mini activity is draw a certain thing. this would be a good idea because we could say, for social studies, who can draw abraham lincoln the best . my second suggestion is life size problems. we can cut out big card board multiplication, division, add,subtract etc. signs, and then numbers 1-10 and then just make a answer, and then time whoever can figure it out the fastest. for example.. you have a timer ready. have each homeroom kid come in the room one at a time. you have the number 27 down, and all the other numbers and signs on the side. whoever can make put together the problem the fastest, wins. lol is that confusing? and then for english, we should have a spelling contest and whoever is the last one to spell the word correctly, wins. and lastly for science, we should see who can draw the solar system the fastest/nicest.
1 suggestion for big activity
a suggestion i have for a big activity is a maze. we can make it out of cardboard. have them find certain pieces, and then whoever has them all at the end, wins. this would be a good idea because the teams that stand on the 2nd level, can look down and see where their rep, is and it'd be funny to watch.
problems and how to avoid them next year
problems we had. not communicating, not listening, and not agreeing. also frustration. some gave atitude to others, disrespected others, and others already had problems with each other in the first place. to avoid these problems next year? stay committed, and push all your problems between each other , aside for awhile. this would've really helped. if we were all just friends and friendly during spirit week. it woudl've been way easier than it was....
overall? spirit week was . pretty good i guess. i hope everyone enjoyed. it was just hella stressful thats all.
