superman yes it s been a while but at this time of year there is no time like the present than to pick back up with a story like this and this my friends is exactly what i have been doing in my blogging absence happy holidays this past october my long awaited wish had become a reality after years of searching due to the turn in the economy i had been given a wonderful opportunity to teach in a first grade classroom at hopkins elementary school hopkins is a title i school and the largest elementary school in its county with approximately 1800 students i would become one of 16 first grade teachers i was up for the task though beginning in the middle of the school year was a bit daunting i gave it my all i spent between 500 1000 of my own money before i ever saw a paycheck and not to mention the other teachers donating supplies from their own classrooms to help mine they could not have been more helpful if i needed a superman then i had indeed just found 15 of them however to no fault of theirs or mine it still was not enough as luck would have it just two weeks ago i was getting a haircut from a friend of mine k for my own good deed to donate it to locks of love when she asked me how school was going naturally i said it was going really well though as i watched her daughters who happen to love art i did mention that at times i alter the homework i send home because not all of my students have crayons at home or they cannot do cut and paste because there is not scissors or glue the next morning i received a text message from k asking how many students were in my class because her daughters were going to pool their money together to buy each student their own pack of crayons for christmas before i knew it k had sent out an email to several families asking if they wanted to get their children involved by that afternoon there were over 13 families willing to participate the kids went shopping with their parents for the supplies or donated their own money and then had a get together to put it all together for my students as we dismissed for the holiday break each of my students went home with their very own pencil box complete with their own pack of crayons markers scissors glue a ruler and colored pencils plus many other supplies such as paint sets construction paper ice cube trays for sorting and pouring paint into notebooks and hundreds of dollars in gift cards have been donated to my classroom a result like this is beyond anything i ever could have imagined our story does not end here it is just the beginning it began as just a conversation between friends and has grown into so much more it has grown into people helping people and children helping children if for no other reason than it is the right thing to do i ll never forget the faces on my students as k entered my room with her hands full of gift bags let alone when they were each handed their own never shall i forget the voices of excitement over items we so often take for granted yes it s true in some places and in some schools we may be waiting on a superman yet i d like to think that one lives in each of us and i am pretty certain there are many circling over my classroom posted by lessons learned at thursday december 23 2010 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels life and kindness teaching tuesday october 5 2010 what s your motto for quite a while now i have been admiring all kind of these canvases all over blog world i had been wanting to create one but i didn t have a place to put it not only because i do not have a home of my own i feel like virginia woolf longing for a room of my own but also because i do not yet have my own family to have family rules for then this past week i was setting up my classroom i thought i would share one of of the projects i completed with you these are my class rules if you will though i have titled it our motto i like to keep them simple brief easy to remember even though i am teaching 1st grade i don t think children need to be dumbed down i expect them to act like people and treat others like people so my rules for my class are exactly what a day to day life motto should be don t you think the world would be a little better if we all followed these rules check out the old school literally paper and stickers in the background go see where i have linked this post posted by lessons learned at tuesday october 05 2010 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels archivers craft life and kindness teaching sunday october 3 2010 revolution some wonderful finds at the norcross art festival yesterday from my friend jenni horne the necklace sorry for the bad picture reads love the way you make a living and the bracelets say take flight and enjoy the journey for those of you who have followed my blog for a while you may know that memorable minutes began as a side business a side business out of need it was a need for a creative outlet it was also for ay type of employment i was always cautiously and fully aware that it would not provide me what i needed it to a home insurance ya know a full living however in many ways for for a year and a half to two years it did provide me a life a creative life i couldn t be more grateful for it i love where it has taken me i often wish i was truly at a point where i could take off and see where this path would lead me full time but last week reality hit and in a good way a principal called me for an interview a necklace from soup studios in athens ga also found yesterday i never discussed it too much on here but i truly had kind of given up after trying for over 2 years in this economy you reach that point then when i received the phone call i had a feeling well low and behold i got the teaching job 1st grade here i come i felt comfortable with the grade i had experience with it now to set up my room er i mean trailer which i think i will like because no one really bothers you out there another find yesterday from delias thompson the ring is titled revolution i can t say i kept my patience and my cool all of the time i shed my tears and i had my moments but i do believe things work out for a reason my new school is two miles from where i student taught and long term subbed had i not done that i would not have a wonderful group of friends helping and supporting me that i do right now who just also happen to spend some of our friday afternoons right in the streets of norcross ga i guess sometimes things really do come full circle i ll still be doing my clocks too not to worry stay tuned for parts 1 and 2 of my classroom the organization and the creativity and norcross is still going on today if you want to

mentioned that maybe sometimes its not always all about looking cute well this past week i actually made a concerted effort to take pictures even on my crappiest of clothing days here s what i ve learned from doing this 1 my mother is correct i need to stand up straight 2 i have a lot of black clothing no matter how much i think i am branching out 3 maybe it is a little bit about looking cute 4 but it is hard to look cute when it is 95 degrees in the middle of september 5 it still holds true that you should suck it in in pictures without further ado 1 dress anthropologie shoes cute little
