My Life

I'm starting out on a voyage,
With heart full and head held high,
To sail the ocean, whether calm or rough,
Out under heaven's blue sky.
The voyage will be long and weary, I know,
But I hope many bright stars will appear.
So I'll sail my ship through calm or strife
With scarce a thought of fear.
I'll stay not here in this quiet place,
Where small ripples blow gently by,
But out on the deep, on the stormy sea,
There, out there, will be I.

If You Ever Need a Boost...

Just have some kids draw a picture of you...it's sure to make you smile!!!




When I asked what was on my head in this one, I was told, "A hair." Glad to know that I have a hair!


I really do wear earring like this!



Either I rub my belly a lot in class, or I've just eaten a really good lunch.








I've got some great dance moves in this one (but unfortunately, no face...)!




Is this student trying to tell me about my ability to see what's going on around me all the time in the classroom?


I hope you enjoyed these as much as I do! Things like these are some of my favorite parts of being a teacher!

I love the one where you are wearing a big heart shirt. I'm sure you have lots of shirts with hearts, rainbows and ponies, right?!
