Many thanks for all the notes on my birthday. They were really sweet and made my day special.

Eight more days until the opening of our play. I have costumes to finish, the program to make, and many more details to work out. God has been very good to us though. I have enjoyed working on this play so much. Sure we have had troubles and I am beginning to stress, but God has given pretty much everyone very good attitudes about working through our troubles. If you want to come to the play, facebook (I can't believe I just used that as a verb) or email me for details

Tidbits of Life

Open House is a day when parents can come see their children in school. All the parents who visited got to see what their child is like at their most excited, least classroom behaved time, at any given time of the day. I got to see these moments all day long, from every student.

Rehearsals are going well. We are off book in a week, but we haven't got any scripts yet. But we can finally buy the scripts! I need to get working on costuming and props in my spare time now.

For the Missions Conference we are singing a John Stainer piece, "For God so Loved the World." It is absolutely gorgeous.

My sister introduced me to some You Tube clips of Straight No Chaser. I don't know much about them, but their "Twelve Days of Christmas" and "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" are amazing.

The internet on the computer at the school is all funky, but hopefully they have it fixed now. I should even be able to access it in my classroom.

Funny Story

I have some puppets in my Kindergarten classroom of various careers. I have a farmer and a businessman, a nurse and a doctor, and many others. They are also multicultural. The doctor happens to be a black man. The other day, one of the boys found him and said, "Look, it's Obama!" Then there was a general outcry to play with the "Obama puppet."

Politics according to Kindergarten. It made me laugh.
