Using the immortal words from Wicked! "Good News!"

If you haven't heard already, we have been accepted into the apartment complex we were looking at. we had filled out the application last week, and I sent it overnight on Thursday. At around 3:30 Friday, I got a call from the rental agent and was told that we got in. She had a good chuckle on ( Read more... )

Hello to all! I have had a lot of time to post these last couple of days, which is nice. The kids have been working on Music Theory, so I lecture for about 10 min. and then let them work on their worksheets. It is easy stuff, and they seem to be getting everything pretty good. Yeah for smart kids. So while they are working, I get to work on ( Read more... )

Once again, sorry for using this fun and exciting place as a posting area for future living. Everyone is more than welcome to look at the links, but you might get jealous.

I have to be honest with you, I love the movie Newsies. Last year I had my kids watch the movie Rigoleto, this year some of my classes are watching Newsies. If you haven't seen this movie, you should watch it. I really think that they should make a stage show out of it, that would be awesome ( Read more... )

I feel very productive today, even though I didn't have to meet with my 6th graders. They have been at Atwood Forest Preserve the last 3 days for Outdoor Education. Lucky for me, I didn't have any classes this morning until around 10:45. That is awesome. I also had the chance to hook up the internet in my room. I don't have a school computer, ( Read more... )

All I have to do is write a formal letter of resignation to the District Office. I was going to postpone that, but I have to let them know now because of the apartment we are looking for. This apartment application is a ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm doing it. Once again, my laziness has taken over and has prevented me from posting anything. I do read LJ everyday, I just don't have the gumption to actually post anything. But this one is going to be short. It is actually a question that I want everyone to answer, it really puts some good things into perspective. Okay, here is the ( Read more... )

I an currently watching the last bit of Beethoven Lives Upstairs. I had finished with most classes several weeks ago, but these kids were working on their concert music, so they did not get the Beethoven lesson. In another hour, I will be done watching this movie - Yeahhhh! Watching a movie over and over again, bit by bit, can grate on your mind ( Read more... )

Yes, it is true - I'm lazy. I read live journal everyday, but it takes me weeks to put up a post. Maybe it is because not much is going on, but for those of you who care - I do have some updates and information ( Read more... )
