After a traumatic leave from my dream job - teaching Junior High School Theatre - I returned to teaching Elementary School. It was hard. I missed my kiddos immensely. I missed my dream job, not to mention how traumatic it was to leave. After two years, I decided to accept the fact that I am an elementary school teacher by posting something positive that happened in my classroom every day. It started on Instagram and Facebook. It's now in blog form. Thanks for coming.

After six incredibly difficult classes, I was super nervous for my fifth graders to come in (they are NOT easy…not even a little), after a rough start (no surprise), we played MY version of Two Truths And A Lie.
Two Lies and a Truth
Three students are all telling a story about the same thing. Each student writes the “title” of their story and their name on a piece of paper:
“How I almost got kidnapped”
“How a chihuahua ate my slice of pizza”
“That time I cracked my head open”
“When I stabbed my brother with a fork”
“When I got stitches on my butt”
Etc…
I call three kiddos up, I say, “We are gonna hear the story about __________________________ .”
Then, the storytelling begins. After all three are finished telling their story, we vote for the Truth Teller.
This school has some pretty incredible liars! I mean storytellers. I had some really good laughs.
