I love teaching Social Studies. Unfortunately, I have about five minutes per day to do this, what with all of the required reading, writing, math, lunch, shoe tying, nose bleeds, tattling, one or two accidents, scraped knees, and recess. Nevertheless, I LOVE it! We have been working on our American Symbols unit the last couple of weeks. I like to begin before September 11th so ... Read More about I Love Social Studies!
Emmy Awards
Here's my fantasy: I have been nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy series and they have just played a clip of my hilarious show at the awards ceremony.

Hodge Podge

Lots of parents, police officers, firefighters, and women and men of the military. We sang, listened to poems recited by upper graders, had a moment of silence, and sang some more.
