Harvest Party!

Hello everyone!
It has been awhile! Things got busy and routine around here but we are back with a photo filled post for today!
November the 5th Matthew and I helped with a high school lock in. It went really well and because we have amazing kids there were no problems at all! I stayed up till about 3 am and then slept for a while and Matthew stayed up all night.
Yesterday we ran a 80's themed room for the school's Harvest Party. Very much like a Halloween party but in November and not everyone in the school is from a country that does Halloween. So this allowed everyone to get in on dressing up!
Our room was karaoke from the 80's (in theory though we had many other songs).
So some pictures!
These are two of my students. On the right we have a World War I aviator (he had goggles on and off through the day) and on the left we have an 80's punk. He used to have fairly long hair so that was a surprise! They sang various songs but in this picture it was Do-Re-Me.

Here we have Ben, one of our Australians, singing Yesterday!

One of Matthew's Korean students singing Solider of Fortune by Deep Purple. We were very impressed he knew it! Especially since the only other song he knew in the book was Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree!

In purple and also (at least the girl on the left) styled to the 80's!
Our amazing 4th and 5th grade teacher singing a very dramatic and apparently weird (it was in Russian so I couldn't tell!) song.

Her family came as the Flintstones (full picture below). She is in my 6th grade class and was a good Dino!

From the Japanese families there were paper throwing stars. The twins are Japanese school girls and the older girl is in traditional Japanese dress.

These girls went as 50's ladies. The one in front looked exactly like a 50's Menonite which was hilarious!


We had a Bottle of Coke and the one next to her is one of my 6th graders as a greaser. He has the most hair I have ever seen on a boy so it was perfect!


Again we have the meonite and next to her "Dancing Queen" from ABBA (read her sign!)

And the Flintstones in their car! You can't see Dino but you can see the rest of the family. And they sang the whole theme song which was pretty cool. :-)

Here we have the high school Mafia. Apparently these amazing clothes were left in their apartment by their landlord! Very nice!

And Pacman for the 80's! On the back they had the blue and white aliens for when they are being chased!


And finally, our Swedish family went as the Swedish royal family!

So that is all for now and there will be more again soon!
