Mr. Everybody Comes to Visit

Here's Mr. Everybody in my classroom! He wrote a book about the notes of the treble clef, in kid friendly language. Crazy Cat is the note C, Dumb Dog is the note D, (I call it dorky dog), Mr. Everybody is E and so on. The kids were so excited to see him in real life that they thought he was quite the celebrity! Enjoy the pictures. :)

New haircut :)

Hi All,

Thought you'd like to see what my hair looks like now that I cut it shorter. Well I didn't cut it shorter. The lady at "Great Clips" did. I thought I'd curl it last night and think it turned out kind of fun!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Here's what my students did today during choir. This was their idea and they got stronger I think as the piece progressed. Enjoy!

This is the way we wash our recorders!

So today I thought it would be smart to sanitize the recorders that haven't been used in a number of years. Thus came out the following set of pictures :) Enjoy! I hope my 3rd and 4th grade students realize how fortunate they are! Ha ha!

We'll put this on pots and pans.

A little cascade pouch will do. :)

Recorders standing tall and proud ;)

An aerial view and dropping to give me 20.

Thankful for the USA!

Here are my students singing "Thankful for the USA" in choir today. They are a lot of fun!

Heart of America :)

My third graders singing, "The Heart of America" by Teresa Jennings to get ready for September 11th. :)  Enjoy!

My new puppy Doodles! :)

This is my new puppy Doodles! Doodles was born on January 5, 2007. She is now 7 months old and full of energy. She is about 8 pounds and is a Coton de Tulear. She is has a cute little bark and loves to play. Her favorite thing to do is find her green squeaky purse and get it to take with her outside. She thinks that when I go to get my purse that she gets to go shopping too apparently. School started on August 6th and so far is going very well. I am teaching K-8 music once again and loving it. I'm excited to work on laundry soon so that is why I'm spending so much time procrastinating...ha ha! Enjoy the next pics of Doodles. Come and visit sometime! We'd love to meet you if we haven't already.
