Midnight post

Well, it looks like it is already Saturday. How did that happen? Tonight I went to Lake Braddock's production of Hairspray, which I thought would maybe be a little bit of a trial to sit through. Boy was I wrong! The middle schoolers who I helped with were now in the starring roles, and they did a great job. Strong singing, good comedic timing, the pit sounded great-it made me think teaching high school could be fun again.
I learned one of my students has perfect pitch today when he wrote the pitches I had played for a dinky little listening assessment. He is in the same class as the girl who is spending her weekend making recordings for her application to a summer festival at Indiana. #notworthy
A story from the past: Erin had a makeup play set and we would give each other makeovers. One day, she used the eye liner pencil to draw big dalmatian spots in my face. We thought this was hilarious. When I went home though, we had to leave for Josh's baptism. Though it was a kid's makeup set, the eyeliner was very hard to get off, and I had to go to the baptism with the faint outlines of dalmatian spots on my face.
