I’m on my last round of paper man puppets. When I went into the workroom to get the paper, I stopped in my tracks and thought, “Why haven’t I ever done yellow? DUH!” So, Thad, maybe these will be in your happy dreams and not your nightmares! #20miredays #dailyelementarymusings #fourthterm #itsagoodyear #focusonthepositive

Busted out the new acting blocks for the first time today! It was like Christmas morning. This student reminds me SO much of myself. AND, her name was my name in my mom’s womb up until the week before I was born. #weird #22moredays #dailyelementarymusings #fourthterm #itsagoodyear #focusonthepositive

These first-graders STRUGGLED today. It’s because of puppets! They were excited to be using their puppets and it got a little chaotic. At the end of class, I caught these three right when they chanted “Girl Power”! Made me smile. #23moredays #dailyelementarymusings #fourthterm #itsagoodyear #focusonthepositive

It’s interesting to me that kiddos get so excited when I have the same shoes as them. #dailyelementarymusings #fourthterm #itsagoodyear #focusonthepositive #thecountdownison
