Ummm…. Ivan, is she wearing a cape?

The first week back was nothing short of really insane. Just to show you how insane it was, let me tell you about today.  So I'm standing at my door and greeting my kids when this girl walks into my class. And I think to myself, “hmmm… somethings not right”, but for some reason I can’t quite put my finger on it. So the bell rings and I come inside to take attendance, and that is when I realize what it is. My student is dressed in a full on superhero outfit. Cape, tiara and for whatever reason black electrical tape on her face… and all I can do is look at my T.A. and say, “why me?”, to which he said, "seriously" and we both sighed in the knowledge that this was going to be the strangest of all my classes. You can’t imagine how hard it was, since today of all days was my teacher student confrence day. There I was thinking as she walked up to my desk, do I tell her to take the tiara off, since I don’t allow hats in my room? Or do play that ignorance is bliss and pretent that the child infront of me does not have electrical tape on her face? I chose avoidance, but could not help but laugh when she told another one of my students to get out of her force field.
