Sweet Sounds

by

I’m sitting here listening to the sweetest sound. One of my second grade reading students is illustrating a story he wrote. While he’s working, he’s singing a praise song about loving Jesus. What a way to get to spend my days!

Your Mom Radio

by

I had my 9th grade computer class record an interview with their favorite geek or nerd…or nerdy geek. Many of them do this in a radio show format, but this is the first one I’ve ever received that features an original theme song.

The subject of this interview is Chad Hurley(pictured), one of the creators of Youtube.

A Great Moment

by

The fifth grade class has a special place in my heart because they were my class last year and therefore were greatly involved in “helping” to plan our wedding. It’s beyond cute how excited they get whenever they see Matt and I walking together or talking. Today took the cake, though. Matt walked into my lab to give me a package my mom had sent. As soon as he walked in, the fifth graders stopped their work, looked at him, and applauded. Yep, my husband is so amazing he gets applause simply for entering a room. That was a great moment.

Happy Birthday to Me!

by

Yep. Today is my birthday. Having your birthday on a school day is the best when you’re an elementary teacher. Today my students planned a surprise party for me. It was actually quite amazing. They plotted with Matt to have him come down at 10:30 and say he needed to talk to me. They even made him plan what he was going to talk to me about so he wouldn’t mess up. 🙂 While he was talking to me, the kids decorated the room with balloons, banners, and cake. They got it completely decorated in about 10 minutes. Then when I walked back in the room, they crowned me with a tiara and sang “Happy Birthday!” I tell you, fourth graders know how to throw a party!
