  2. I love it when my students at school make me laugh. This week a second grade boy said to me “I know you’re not a grandma, but you look like one.” Two days later a different second grade girl told me “I like your teeth.” I just love to laugh!?

    And I was glad to see ‘pumpkins’ on your list. I love the passion that you have for them!
    Everytime that I now think of pumpkins, I think of this blog!

  4. I love it when an unexpected card of encouragement from my sister (you) arrives in the mail on the day I need it most. Thank you Christie! And I love it when during my musical theatre students post-concert group reflection say things like, “in this class, I feel like I’m with family, and I can totally be myself.”
