Hunger Games Trailer
My first response to the trailer was oh my gosh, it's going to be true to the book. Then 10 plus views later I notice things that I didn't catch or did and didn't really think about. First things first I loved the trailer overall. Coming from someone who didn't read the book though they wouldn't really know what was going on. For instance an ( Read more... ) -
An Eye Opening Experience
I've discovered today what it's like to have your characters take over a story and lead the story for you. I'm incredibly proud of myself at the moment because this is the most I've ever written for pleasure. In the past I've always gotten to a certain point and given up because I think my writing was horrible. The first day of writing was ( Read more... ) -
So much paper bags
I went to work today thinking I was going to be working in music. I started off there, but ended up spending the majority of the day cutting paper grocery bags up into vests that the kinder kid's are going to use next month for a Thanksgiving project. The story behind this is complicated, but if it wasn't for the music teacher I would have been ( Read more... ) -
The gloves have come off
I am honestly tired of dealing with an ungrateful bastard everyday when I come home from work.

I know if I'm going to go this rout I'm going to have to start now. At first I really wanted to do The Wood card from ( Read more... ) -
Ms. B You're Cool
Today during language arts I was teaching the students Latin and Greek roots. We were talking about 'original' and one of the students asked a question about what exactly does original means. I decided the best way to go about his was to use an example. I told the class that for instance that we retail folk tales all the time, and one is ( Read more... ) -
Dear Fellow Educators
How would you deal with a student around the age of 10/11 who is blatantly disrespectful. The student's behavior escalates through out the day where it gets to the point that teaching is no longer possible because of the distraction they are exhibiting. Behavior starts as side comments that can be easily ignored or solved with a look. It then ( Read more... ) -
Harry Potter
As some of my really good friends know I always say that Harry Potter saved my life. The reason behind this is I discovered Harry Potter in a time in my life where everything seemed doom and gloom. I had depression problems and I was going though a relationship that was detrimental to me mentally. The only time I felt happy or totally forgot the ( Read more... )
