I refer to children and babies as smallish children all the time. Usually when I say it I get a response like "Did you just say smallish child????" Why yes, yes I did.Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-17125243673009571442012-10-19T14:10:05.766-04:002012-10-19T14:10:05.766-04:00Not laughing at you one bit.

My 8th grade history teacher, Mrs. Davis, is that teacher for me (and she wasn't nearly as young as you are). She always acted out the lesson in the classroom and made history come alive for me. I still love it to this day. I actually started doing little skits for the kids I babysat for in my neighborhood when I was in Jr. High and High School on Sat. mornings in my front yard, too. Then, when I had my own kids, I make up voices when reading stories to them or chase them around the house pretending to be the Hunchback of Notre Dame. They just loved it!ValenzMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871554777427103509.post-23455224278797464952012-10-09T07:40:16.914-04:002012-10-09T07:40:16.914-04:00If we all had teachers like you when we were in sc...If we all had teachers like you when we were in school, we'd all be English lit grads!!!
