Feelin' groovy

When did I turn into the type of nut who stays up late to watch an American Masters (on 13, naturally) on Pete Seeger and sings along because I have learned so many folk songs and contemplates buying CDs?  Oh, right, round about two years ago.

Sometimes I feel like a caricature of a progressive teacher, and then other times, I think, no, I'm just

All-school sing was seriously my favorite part, bar none, of student teaching at CPE. It still gives me goosebumps when I think of it! Those kids didn't realize how awesome it was.

Yes. I still have that handout Josh gave us like 3 years ago with all the CPE songs on it and I nearly flipped out when I thought my co-teacher lost it. "Old John the Rabbit" was the universal favorite with the kids I had last year. Except that when I was at CPE 2 years ago they sang different songs which aren't even on the list and it makes me sad that I can't remember them. "Skating on the Volga?" Shit. I only remember like 1/4 of those lyrics.

I miss you! You should come visit again! We can have a cooking party!
