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.

Today was the first day of Dia de los Muertos Drama Lessons.
Fourth graders were working in groups to create a Tableau with poses that represent their loved ones who have passed. It was suggested to do a pose that features something they loved or one of their favorite things (which can be difficult). After a couple minutes, one of them came up to me concerned and said,
“My dad didn’t have any favorite things. I was his favorite.”
I said to her, “Perfect! You can just be you then!”
That’s what she did, and it was perfect.
