Sloppy Joe's
I personally think I have the best teaching gig. I don't really have a curriculum that I have to follow. Therefore, I have the ability to be creative. That is one thing about the direction of education in the last decade, there is hardly no creativity allowed. Especially at the elementary level- they're teaching what the district tells them and how the district tells them to teach it. They want consistency. Remember that when you're complaining about what your kid is learning- the teacher isn't choosing that, the teacher is being directed to do that. So anyway. . . back to the purpose of this email (that was just a side tangent). I am supposed to teach my students life lessons, which means we get to cook. We LOVE to cook! Last year we cooked weekly. We got started back this week. When I asked the kids what they wanted to fix, someone said "Sloppy Joe's!" and everyone enthusiastically agreed. I can't remember ever eating a Sloppy Joe, but
