Getting More Folksy

So, I've been told that I need to be more "folksy" in my blog. I'm not sure about that but here goes.

I suppose I could introduce myself first.!? I taught elementary school for 22 years before I retired to open my own business. But, each August/September I'm like an old firehorse, ready to go when the bell rings. My brain just won't shut off sending me new, and old, ideas for creative writing, art, discipline, english, reading, arithmetic, and idea after idea after idea. That's why I started this blog. Just the act of putting my ideas "out there" makes me feel more relaxed. If this craziness of mine is of some help to one of you, then I won't FEEL so crazy.

HERE'S A TIP YOU MIGHT LIKE: Most of you have already been doing this but for those who haven't-have each child bring in an oversized shirt for clothing protection during art or classroom clean up, like desk washing. Yes, desks should be scrubbed down once in a while. The shirts can be sent home to be washed by the room mother or another volunteer. Keep them in a box or hang them up if you are lucky enough to have the space. Remember, projects are fun even if they are messy.
