Concert Update and more...
♫ ♪ OMG the concert literally ROCKED! All the parents seemed to be impressed with how their students performed. Not only my guitar kiddos but Band (Adv & Beg), Orchestra (Adv & Beg) and the choir!
Yep, the band director had it down to 57 mins! PERFECT!
How cool is this
→ Our middle school and our elementary school on base are getting recognized for being top notch academically statewide! I can't remember our middle school's standing, but it's like 2nd or 3rd academically.
Our governor, sec of Ed and other dignitaries are coming next Friday to recognize us. And guess what? The district wants my guitar kiddos to play the Star Spangled Banner and one of the songs from our concert! We'll rock 'em with Radioactive!
I think it's too freakin' funny since the district gave my principal grief over the summer about me not being "highly qualified" to teach music since I don't have a "music" endorsement (I never took a music class in my life)...
I think I mentioned that this would be the last year I am allowed to teach guitar... it's not like my class is posted as a music class, it's posted as Independent Study: Guitar... whatever! Pfffffffffffffft!
My principal is still trying to get them to explain WHY Guitar class couldn't be labeled Independent Study since there's no clear cut definition of what that encompasses! That's b.s. bureaucracy for ya, right? But I totally understand since technically, I don't have the "book learning" to back me up. Almost 50 yrs experience doesn't cut it!
Hey it's been a great run... this is my 9th year teaching it and I've had over 300 guitar kiddos over those years... Imma grateful I had the opportunity to share my love of the guitar and music with each and every one of them!
Topic Change: WOW all the Warriors POSTED! That's totally terrific!

Hope you got your yard work done early so you could just chil-lax and take care of YOU!
Our weather has been nice all week long too, but today it's taking a nose dive into the hi 50s/low 60s! But Imma soooo ready for truly Fall-like weather!

I met up with a friend yesterday and had a good conversation. We worked together for many years and she recently retired.

Yea, that little 'human' concept in business! Very little of it lately it seems 10 days off and after 6 you are 'charged' for it against an evaluation...go figure! In fact someone should challenge that actually cause in the end it is just stupid HAHA
|
Thought about challenging it BUT and this is a BIG BUT (not as BIG a BUTT as "Fat Jo's"
) as it stands now, our evaluations do NOT affect our salaries... KWIM? So it's hard to protest it when it doesn't affect anything but numbers on a sheet of paper. Does that make sense??

the kiddo's school has something going around.
they are starting to drop like flies.
SO FAR we are good but kiddo is super duper tired and hubby said he doesn't feel great....but nothing dramatic so far and I am good so? Fingers crossed it doesn't come into this house HA
|
Oh man, it is that time of year for sure! We've got strep throat going around... nasty...nasty...

TOO COLD for my old bones already. Fall, nope, to me it is winter now also

OMG if it's too cold already, you're in big big trouble! Maybe time to move south???? Or out west where it doesn't get so stinking cold!
