The Inspiring Classroom

In spite of what the negative rhetoric surrounding public education might lead you to believe, we are doing amazing things in our classrooms every day. This blog chronicles the meandering path that brought me to this profession, offers some insight into my personal life, and provides a platform for me to share classroom experiences, successes, and struggles. I believe that we are inspired by discourse among our peers, and I believe the most grievous failures occur when we simply fail to try.

Rudolph the red nosed...Reindeer?

Apparently Aaron is working on a new installation for the 1001 Ways to Sink a Sub book. They had a substitute Tuesday, and when I picked him up from school, I found that he had adorned himself and his good friend Brandon in Rudolph disguises.

He was so disappointed when I recognized him!

What a cutie patootie! He just LOVES Christmas and is SO excited about seeing what Santa will bring him this year.

We're also trying to teach him about giving at Christmas, and have had the opportunity to let him make donations to a few different causes. He seems to be really enjoying that too, which is neat.
