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.

The scene: 25 fourth graders sitting on their stars after just having watched - and moved to - this video:
Three minutes before I had just finished explaining what a Tableau is and that in groups of five we were going to build some.
Me: you might be wondering why just three minutes ago I was explaining how we are going to build Tableaux, but then I had you move to this music.
Fourth grade boy (who happens to be Mexican): Nah, it’s because we’re Mexican and we just gotta move!
Note: I will be doing Dia de los Muertos lessons all month.
