The kids were being awfully loud as they entered the music room today. S...

If you're happy and you know it. Wednesday, April 18, 2012. I am the beast. One part of my job is putting on "music programs" for my students. Basically, they get to perform songs for their parents.

Let me tell you a story. There were a lot of kids SUPER pumped about our program coming up. it was so cute! Today, I got t...

If you're happy and you know it. Friday, March 30, 2012. I'll be your friend. One of the least glamorous parts of my job is. Getting to do lunch duty.

If you're happy and you know it. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Every day, I walk a group of students who have older brothers or sisters over to the intermediate school. We walk from the back of our school to the front of the other school and I help with car duty over there. Let me tell you a story. The clouds after work today. Miss Akins, LOOK! Those clouds are so fluffy! They look so soft. I just want to lay down on them and take a nap! You're right, they do look soft! Aw faith like a child. 65279;ʌ...
