Epic Fiascoes

It's been forever, a year, and a half of a decade since I have created a blog post. The reason for that is because I have been so incredibly busy. I have workshops, and so much stuff going on after school. I even have been walking my dog Smokey when I get home from school which is a big step in my life. I am discovering, ever so slowly a healthier lifestyle which includes an evening stroll with my Pyranese mix.


Reason number two is that my partner in crime and I have been creating a short video for our students every Friday called the ThomaSneed Show. However, in order for this to come together and avoid an epic fiasco, we have to put a lot of time into it during the week.  This week, we had the ThomaSneed Show all together when Meredith got home and discovered four video clips weren't there. The making of an epic fiasco.  So...I traveled to L.A (if you're not from around these parts, LA stands for Lower Asheboro), went into my school /room super quick in the dark to get my news reporter microphone (aka a pink zebra taped flashlight), and went to Meredith's house to re-tape our videos. I stayed there until 11:30 that night and here is the result:

We have disabled a lot of the setting with this video; therefore, it won't let me post directly from YouTube. However, you may simply click on the link and it will take you directly to it!

Now, before you judge us you should know that we love our students. We would do absolutely anything for them....as you can see!

History of ThomaSneed Show: happened completely by accident. We were totally goofing off in my room one day and video taped our silliness and decided to show it to our students one Friday.  IT WAS A HIT! Now, we do it every week and we are currently finished Episode #3 which includes all the teachers I come in contact with on a daily basis. We make the show relevant to what we are studying that week. This week, we were studying emotions and poetry. The students live for Friday now more than ever!

Last night I also had the pleasure of going to see two of my students in their play, "Twinderella". Super cute fractured fairytale. Immediately after the show, they bolted through the crowd to see Meredith and I!! It is moments like that, when I am extremely glad more than ever to be a teacher. When I know I have made an impact on a kids life simply by attending their performance, or game, or band concert, or church play. They love it!!!
