Mrs. Ross Rokes

Being an elementary music teacher definitely has its ups and downs. Today alone I tied about 4 soggy Hello Kitty shoelaces, nursed 3 bloody noses and some bloody teeth back to health (I had recess duty... when will winter end?), and hugged a student who stopped by just to say, "Good job on your class yesterday Mrs. Ross.... you know... teaching and everything".

One thing will remain true about education for the rest of time:
Kids are FUNNY.

Here are some of my most recent funny kid faves:

Hat Day 2007- All of the chubby-faced kindergarten students file by into my classroom wearing their caps and baseball hats... the most memorable hat of the day? One of my kindergarten students wearing a hat that claims,
"I Luv Bikinis"....


Me: Who remembers how many beats a quarter note (Mr. Ta) gets?
Student Answer: My dad just put new carpet in our basement...


Me: These tiny little bells are called the Glockenspiel bells! Can everyone say "glockenspiel? Be careful not to spit! These bells were made in a country called"Germany"....
Student Reply: Hey! My grandma is from Germany!
Me: That's cool!
Student Reply: Wait... actually... I think she's from New JERSEY.


Dear Mrs. Ross, Music is:
Marvelous
Unstable
Special
Imposable... (yes- you read that correctly)
Cool

Music Rokes! I love you Mrs. Ross! You Roke!

PS: For those of you who don't understand what "Roke" means... Roke= "Rocks" in kid spelling.
