My kids!

           Honestly I feel like the luckiest girl!  I really do have my dream job, teaching! Seriously it is one of the most fulfilling jobs.  I  love all of my kids. Haha and I do have my little trouble makers.  Luckily I only have 17 students, so I am able to have a little bit of one on one time with them.  
           Currently I am working on autobiographies with my students. I am thoroughly entertained in reading what they write. One of my students wrote about how I send home fun homework assignments except for the spelling, because it is boring. Another student wrote about how when I came into the classroom I taught them the ABC'S and gave them spelling tests. I laughed at this, because I modified President Monson's ABC's in abundant living, for our class. You know the have a positive Attitude, Believe in Yourself, and have the Courage to do what is right! I always bring up the ABC's in the classroom.  As a teacher, you do not just prepare your students to pass the grade, or graduate from school. You prepare your students to make it in the world.  That is why I thought President Monson's ABC's would be appropriate for my classroom. 
             Let's see what else. My school does a huge show once a year.  As soon as I got the job, my team leader informed me that I would have to prepare a number for my students to perform during the Spring Show.  Haha,  I love dancing, but in no way am I a dancer. Here is a little glimpse of what we are doing. Imagine these guys in tiger suits, in a giant theater, with lots of bubbles.  While you watch this video, remember I have no dance background. I did take a dance class my junior year of high school!
