A Sign of the Times

http://www.ehow.com/video_4984803_tutoring-fifthgrade-math.html

For those of you who don't know, I teach 5th grade math.  A big part of 5th grade math is getting them ready for Algebra.  I try to present myself in a manner that connects with the student on his/her terms.  Here is a video that will show you what I mean.  Let me know what you think about the look?  For those who have known me for years, I have I changed?

The Original Proverbs 31 Lady...

This lady is a servant to all.  She is an example of what it means to give tirelessly to others.  She has spent the last 2 weeks helping 2 different generations grow, adjust, be happier, be more rested and hopeful.  She did it all with a genuine smile on her face while being patient and kind and selfless. 
She will now come home and continue the same.  She gives all she has...and sometimes, more than she has.  She will leave, someday, an enduring legacy.  Little Juliet, grow up to be like your Meme. She is my wife.  I am happy and honored to be able to walk through this life with her.  Here's to Meme and Mom.  Here's to Pam.
Love always,
Mike
