Last night was the final night of children’s choir for the year.  I have really had a great year with some awesome co-teachers and a great group of compassionate kiddos.  I would post pictures except I forgot my camera in the diaper bag.  Hopefully I’ll be receiving some from the parents of these sweet children, and I’ll post them then.

When we finished singing, one of the moms handed me something as I walked up the church aisle.  I finally got to look at it, and it was a gift card to Starbucks!  There was a sweet note attached with the child’s handwriting - I love you, Mis Jenna.  Love, me.

I walked into the choir room last night and found a sweet story written by another child.  (They write things to me and make me pictures all the time, but I really liked this one because it was so very elaborate.)

I’m keeping the spellings the same; the translation is at the bottom.

a log log log tim ugo ter livd a wish a vere men men wish.  Then She strtit to seing a sog.  (Insert written music notes here.  Very well-written.)  and trd  tees into dust.  then the bravis sooprhiros kam to saf the day  ten evereten kam bake to norml  THE END.

Which is, of course:  A long, long time ago, there lived a witch, a very mean mean witch.  Then she started singing a song (music notes) And turned trees into dust.  Then the bravest superheroes came to save the day.  Then everything came back to normal.  The End.

I love it!  A perfect blend of plot, character development, conflict, and resolution.   Oh, and I forgot that this was written for “Mis Genu”.  Hooked on Phonics!
