I keep choking up as I read, and am ecstatic to think of my j in your class next year. You even roller derby! (It sounds like so much fun but I'm a big fat chicken) I'm sad I came too late in the game to hear you sing, but what I really want to say is, I'm so glad the world threw us together.Shelanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807240270790274555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-50042923134315959632011-10-04T18:47:29.647-06:002011-10-04T18:47:29.647-06:00love this! and it made me miss gibb:)love this! and it made me miss gibb:)jordan and macihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886360194225292778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-49098183205890684782011-09-16T06:43:30.920-06:002011-09-16T06:43:30.920-06:00I teach english to french elementary leven student...I teach english to french elementary leven students in france and I love that feeling where you just know every student has 'got' it.Creepy Query Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115161057496086972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-41563400622590805952011-09-15T22:02:50.486-06:002011-09-15T22:02:50.486-06:00I hadn't thought about this before, but I lik...I hadn't thought about this before, but I like the idea!

You're making the rest of us look like posers.<br /><br />And I agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying here. I feel like there is so much time wasted in our schools expecting our kids to play 'hotter, colder' with basic concepts.<br /><br />Choral response is good for the show-offs, good for the kids who simply get it, and good for those who are struggling but whose confidence is boosted by being 'right' with everyone else.<br /><br />You are amazing.
