Read Beyond Reality.

Tonight we really rolled out the red carpet at our middle school. It was literacy night and everything was themed "Read Beyond Reality: TV OFF - Books ON!"


The rooms had different themes tied to favorite reality shows and literature. Our room was "Top Chef," and the tables were covered with cookbooks and food magazines. We showed them a short Top Chef clip to get them in the mood. The students worked together with their families to create pizzas and then describe them to us.


Some of their pizzas were hilarious. They came up with really funny combinations including using deep fried crickets, barbeque sauce and mozzarella on the same pizza. And just like a Quick Fire Challenge on Top Chef, there were prizes.


We sent the winning "chef" and their family home with a pizza kit to make a real pizza. The losers also got prizes too: pizza flavored goldfish. We love our themes.


Here are the English 8 teachers in the t-shirts I designed. We meet on Thursday mornings to eat brownies and plan our lessons for the next week. I love this team, and I think we look good in pink.

  1. What would a Vic gathering be without homemade t-shirts?! Sounds like a fun night at your school.
