"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!"

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is the theme in my "All Girl" class every day! I went to an "All Girl" high school and what I thought was going to be horrible at first, became something I am truly grateful for.  Girls being silly, letting loose, and openly sharing girl issues make for some really close friendships that last a lifetime. I have made many friends I consider sisters to this day.
 
I feel the same way about teaching in an "All Girl" class. There is something about girls having time to socialize without boys around. We all talk about girl issues and feel the power of sisterhood around us.  Girls dancing, singing, painting, playing ball, scrapbooking, brushing hair, doing nails, and putting on makeup together really builds self-esteem in a very fun-loving environment.  There is always a "You Go Girl" vibe in the class and a camaraderie that continues to build every day.  The girls really get to know each other.  They are in-tune to the feeling of each other and often show signs of caring for one another.  Many students will make a bracelet or craft and want to give it to a friend. The classroom is decorated to fully embrace our "Girl Power" attitude and we all benefit from it!
 
Though I know the girls love seeing the boys in other classes, it is apparent that we all enjoy our "Girl Time" together!
