The mist caught was interest but I didn't find it at all like a major paranormal event. I've seen so much worse that a couple small bandaids would do just fine. ![]() It was a little scratch and they used 10 feet of gauze to wrap it was too dramatic. His falling and getting a little scratch to be bandaged like he needed 40 stitches was really too much.

Shane is clumsy and always afraid no matter where he is and overreacts.

Sometimes I even like to pull parents in the audience to help play or accompany a song on orff instruments, etc. I like to make my programs more "informance" than "performance" so even though there is a theme tying everything together, parents are seeing how music class typically works. Many of these songs were already in my curriculum for 2nd which means less "teaching to the test" and more exploring with songs we would be learning anyways! I am big on making programs that showcase what we ALREADY do in music class rather than taking a lot of time out of the curriculum for the year to teach song that students will never sing again in music class just because they fit with a cute them. Instead of using only songs that mention the correct color names to match the page, I looked at what the crayons were talking about coloring and used a lot of songs to go with those objects. Such a cute book! Some people who have done this program this year did a lot of songs that mention the color names, but I decided to go a slightly different route. Some are over-worked, some are under-worked, and some just frustrated with other colors arguing. ![]() ![]() If you don't know the book, it consists of a bunch of letters from crayons to their friend Duncan explaining to him why they have had enough and need a break. ![]() ![]() ![]() These servants appear, either directly or by indirect mentions, in Austen’s novel, but of course we know nothing about their lives. So, what’s it about? As the title suggests, it concerns the “downstairs” staff, the servants, at Longbourn, the residence of the Bennet family of Pride and prejudice. I can’t say I loved the book, but it did interest me. And so, I was persuaded to read Jo Baker’s Longbourn: Pride and prejudice, the servants’ story, a Pride and prejudice spin-off, for my local Jane Austen group’s monthly meeting. ![]() However, when it comes to reading choices, there are certain types of books that are not my preference, such as crime and Jane Austen sequels, but as regular readers will have seen over the years I can be persuaded. “Never say never” is one of my favourite mottos, though I must admit there are some things I never will do, such as climb Mt Everest, say, or even write a novel. ![]() Used by permission of The Random House Group Ltd ![]() |
