1. One of my morning boxes is a box of nutcrackers. I'm not sure what my students make of this. Not a single one knew about the ballet. Well now they have heard and listened.
    Introducing ballet is interesting with young kids. 
    They certainly smiled. 
    I have a VHS of the Nutcracker ballet done with marionettes that flop around all over-the puppets terrified my own kids years ago. So I guess I can't miss that for my class. 

    We drew the Nutcracker today. I totally enjoy these. Art Hub ForKids provided the instructions. It's really great.

About Me
My Photo
I'm a public school elementary teacher from W.V. beginning my career in poverty schools in the 1980's. (I have GIST cancer-small intestinal and syringomyelia which isn't what I want to define me but does help define how I view the meaning of my life.) I am a mom of 3 great children-now grown. I teach 3rd grade in an Underperforming school, teaching mostly immigrant 2nd Lang. children. I majored in art, as well as teaching. Art informs all I do. Teaching is a driving part of my life energy. But I am turning to art soon. I'm married to an artist I coaxed into teaching- now a Superintendent of one of the bigger Districts in the area. Similar population. We both have dedicated inordinate amounts of our life to the field of teaching in areas of poverty hoping to give students opportunities to make better lives. I'm trying to write as I can to the issues of PUBLIC education , trying to gain the sophistication to address the issues in written forms so they can be understood from my teaching contexts.I like to blog from daily experiences. My work is my own, not reflective of any school district.
