Bamboozled by the Lollipop Gang
Yesterday, I went to school to teach music classes. I was teaching what I thought to be a fantastically put together lesson plan about Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev, when a little boy raised his hand and said, “Hey, I got new shoes!” Following his remark was a compliment given by a little girl who just HAD to tell me she thought my...
Hope Will Follow
