Back to the school I subbed in for art last week, about four doors past in fact in 4th and 5th grade row. It was another day with no break for specials, not even computer lab like Tuesday. The morning consisted of a large language arts block with a reading from their Treasures reading book […]
Saturday was the day that the theatre collaborated with Moonlight Productions to make the movie version of one our plays from a few years ago. This is the first time I have been involved in such an endeavor but have sat through a few acting classes in which we discussed the differences between live theatre

After we got back from our trip to New York City a month ago, I did a bunch of research about September 11, 2001. I guess seeing the World Trade Center site in person piqued my curiosity about some of the details of that dreadful day. Some of the websites I found with information about

Tho other school had two near-identical classrooms- the teachers are truly a team there- and the students were English-speaking.

Ok… so this news is only a few weeks old, but the premise is so outrageous that I am surprised that no one else has posted it. It seems that a woman in Germany has filed for divorce from her husband of 15 YEARS. Why you may ask? Some Hollywood marriages last mere hours so

Our almost 5-year-old Sammie is the firecracker of the group. She likes to be the one to stir things up, and she sometimes has some crazy ideas. My mom sent me an email with the following video and a message: “I’m surprised Sammie hasn’t tried this.” I can’t imagine what those poor parents were going
