I Work at an Elementary School


It's true, I am employed by the Fresno County Office of Education and I work in an afterschool program at the school of John Burroughs. I work with children, third graders in particular, and I facilitate their educational development through a variety of games/homework (No Ken, I will not teach Sunday school).

As far as the image is concerned, it is a barbie jean jacket with glitter trim and has been in the Jetta's cup holder for the last six months. It was given to me by a young, second-grade lady named Stevie Sanchez. She's a gem of a girl, gracious in most things, but she desperately needs to work on her "times."

My current milage is 34mpg on the highway and 28mpg in the city. My overall average is up this week due to my numerous trips to Oakhurst, CA. God Bless the US!

Today I drove down to GW School Supply and listened to Kelly Clarkson: Break Away!

Hey James, great blog. If you're going to work at John Burroughs elementary, you may as well link to a site or two on him, like johnburroughs.org. Burroughs was a great ecologist, friend of John Muir, and owner of one of the greatest beards of all time.

A friend of mine (Ed Renehan) wrote a biography of him. If they don't have two copies of Ed's book in the library at Burroughs, something is seriously wrong :)
