I am very lucky to have a job doing what I love!
I love spending my days filling the minds of children. They brighten my days, and make coming to work everyday so worth it! Since I teach at a super small school, we are able to do some pretty cool stuff! One being, getting to participate in KYA.
KYA is the Kentucky Youth Assembly. It is for middle school students to get a glimpse into the law making process. They get to work together to create a bill, then take that bill to the KYA convention to try to get their bill passed to be a law. It was a great experience for the students!
Our 2016 KYA team.
The students on the steps of the Kentucky State Capitol building in Frankfort.
The students in the courtroom explaining their bill.
Here the students are enjoying themselves at the mixer.
They got the "Best New Delegation" Award out of 60+ schools!!!
KYA 2016 was a success!
Last Friday was Veteran's Day, so we decided to take the 4th-12th grade to the parade downtown. They had a blast! It was a very cool experince and I'm glad I teach at a school that allows us to be flexible for various learning opportunities.
Waiting for the parade to begin.
We were sitting right by a Starbucks so of course the girls had to get a drink. They look very "gossip girl" here with their uniforms, starbucks and sitting on the steps :)
We had so much fun!!! It was the most perfect day for a parade and even more special that we got to honor the many men and women who have served our country and allow us to live in freedom!!
Xoxo,

P.s. Sorry friends I've totally been slacking on getting my posts up! Trust me, I'll step up my game:)
