Woah... I totally forgot about this blog. Almost like reading a diary and shaking your head in embarrassment. (See awkward face pic above.)

I guess it's time for some updates. Stay tuned.

My First Concert

Here is one of the better pictures of the Winter concert. My grandpa took most of the pictures, so they aren't the best quality, but it's better than nothing. :)

So far, I have 65 4th and 5th graders in my chorus group. This semester, I am adding a 3rd grade jr. chorus group and recorder club (also for my 4th and 5th graders). It's been a really fun and exciting learning experience for the kids and myself. :)

Teaching Stories

Most of my stories these days consist of my teaching experiences. Partly because the only other person I hang out with is my grandpa and the only other person I talk to is my boyfriend, but I'm ok with this!

Every morning I typically greet the same kids as they are coming off the school bus. This morning I was running later than usual and arrived to find a kindergartner peaking through my door window. As I got closer, he exclaimed, "there you are! I thought you were hiding from me!". He then proceeded to tell me how he finally remembers my name and all the cool stuff he has planned for this weekend. Once he left, I had a student stop by asking if I could help her learn a song on piano. She was so excited with her accomplishments that she asked if she could play the song for her class next week in music. :)

This week has been one crazy week with the kids (full moon, kid vomiting in class, spilling my coffee, etc.) and come this morning I was running on very low energy. Needless to say, this surely helped me get through today and reminded me why I love teaching. :)

Here is to a long, work filled weekend! At least the weather is suppose to be sunny and in the upper 80s! I love Florida!

End of 1st 9 Weeks

The end of the first nine weeks is near!

This school year has already been flying by and all of my students love me. I have so many pictures and nicknames. =]

And the best part is that I keep forgetting its my job. I truly have the most amazing job in the world! Life is wonderful.
