Tamara is coming tomorrow for the weekend... and my parents are coming next saturday for a week! I am so excited I can hardly contain myself! We haven't seen our parents since we were home for the holidays. Today at school we got on the topic of who would have the longest drive to their hometown, and I won :( It made me a little sad when everyone was like "WHOA I don't know how you live so far away, don't you miss your family?... blah blah blah" YES I miss them...
In my ESL class yesterday we watched this video. Why do I want to be a teacher? For this reason! Look at the passion in their faces as they sing. Music and the arts can touch childrens' lives like nothing else. Check out on YouTube the other PS22 clips. This teacher is amazing with the way he engages his students. You want to see something way funny/cute? Check out their Lady Gaga one! It makes you wonder if they REALLY know the words they are saying in that one haha anyways.. check out this video. And just look at the children's faces. Amazing, huh?! If this video doesn't melt your heart, then you need help.
That was awesome. It made me happy to sense that passion that you would want in your career also. Let's see, Mrs. McMurdie, do you know any arithmetic songs to learn by?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm excited to see you too!
