How is it only Tuesday?!?

I’m so tired. It wasn’t even that crazy of a day, and I’m still so tired. What is it about Halloween that just drains the life out of me? I mean, seriously, most of the day was pretty normal. We had the costume parade and it ended around nine. Usually, the next half hour is devoted to students taking their costumes off, so I’d printed a word search for them to do while that was accomplished. But this class all told me that they hadn’t brought a change of clothes and needed to keep their costumes on.
This class lied.
But, honestly, I didn’t care. Usually I follow the rules and insist they take their costumes off, only to see kids from other classes with their costumes still on. So, I figured, let them wear their costumes. A few took theirs off as the day went on, some wore them all day, and it was fine. It didn’t impede instruction, they were well behaved, everything was cool. I was even able to get more instruction done with them still in their costumes because we did vocabulary and phonics during that half hour I thought they’d be changing. And then, got another unexpected half hour, so I was able to knock fluency testing out, so that’s another grade I’ll have ready when report cards open tomorrow.
I enjoy dressing up for Halloween and the parade and everything, but I am glad it’s over. Of course, that means parent conferences are just on the horizon. Now that’s something to be scared of.
