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.

This is my mug. Y’all know it doesn’t have water in it. It has Coke in it.
I needed it today, badly. I’m so glad Coke is available to me at BOTH schools for only .50 a can.
NLJH had a Soda Fountain that was free. I miss that.

Beginning Tableau work. We discussed our favorite foods, got into groups and created them. Next week we will expand.

Working on being precise with our pantomime by playing What’s in the Box. Too bad I can’t show his face, because there was 💩 in his 📦. Not only was he VERY precise with indicating, opening, and pulling out what was his box, his facial expressions and silent gagging was even more precise. There was NO questioning what was in that box!
As you can imagine, this second grade class loved it…so did I, but ONLY because he was SO precise.

I’m running out of Dragon Tickets!🐉 🎟️ This container was chock full on the first day of school.
Luckily I can easily get more from the office, but I think this is a good sign of how well this year is going.

These are little Knick-Knacks that kiddos have given me over the past couple of weeks.
See the little orange creepy crawly? A little kindergartner gave it to me today as she whispered in my ear, “I got this as a prize today, but I’m giving it to you because I love you.” A kiddo to give up their prize? Wow. I definitely feel loved.
That picture? That’s a picture that has been on my desk since 2017 of one of my NLJH Theatre 2 classes.

Today, I look like a teenager question mark? 😂😂😂
Boy do littles know how to make a GenXer feel good.
I’m glad I’m NOT a teenager! I’m glad I’m 48!
