Reason 8,560,345,612 I Love My Job


Great kiddo story from this morning...

During Reading class, we were discussing what it might be like to live during pioneer days and farm on a prairie. One of my boys said, "Ms. Maple, isn't there a song about that? 'Livin' on a Prairie,' right?" I had to just smile and appreciate his childlike thoughtfulness. I gently corrected him that the song is actually "Livin' on a Prayer" and is sung by the classic Bon Jovi. And then as I retold the story to my colleagues, I laughed until I cried.

Here are a couple pics from the trip Matt and I took to my sister's in Puerto Rico last week. Talk about breath-taking!
