Colors of the Rainbow | Color Song for Kids | Learning the Colors | Jack...
I work as a substitute teacher in a local school district. I have been doing this for the last 4 school years and have found that I really enjoy it and seem to be good at it. Since January of this year, I have been doing mostly long term subbing which usually means filling in for a teacher or paraeducator on maternity leave.
A few days before the beginning of this school year I was contacted by my wife/s principal (My wife is a school pyschologist) who wanted to know if I would teach her schools art classes while they searched for a permanent art teacher. I had previously done two shorter stints subbing for the art teacher at that school and found that while it was a little out of my comfort zone it also landed firm in my sweet spot. Buoyed my my previous experience I quickly agreed.
My students range from kindergartners to 5th graders. II like tend to teach between 2 or 3different lessons to encompass all the age groups. The activities, and types of content will vary. With the younger students I like to supplement the activities with stories and songs. Jack Hartmann. a forever young 71 year old children's singer with unbridled makes some of my favorite videos for the pre-school to 2nd grade set. I'm currently starting my k-2 classes on warm and cool colors with this great Jack Hartmann video.

Randy Stonehill 50 years in ministry kickstarter project is fully funded.
Last Month Ray Ware, Randy Stonehill's longtime manager and bestfriend, launched a kickstarter project to produce an album to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of Born Twice, Stonehill's first album. The Album will have various artists performing Stonehill songs from the last 1/2 century. The link to the project (which is now fully funded and closed for contributions) is found here.
The album will be entitled "There's A Rainbow Somewhere" which are lyrics from his song King of Hearts. I was excited to hear about the project and it is the first kickstarter project that I have ever been a backer of. To celebrate funding I am sharing the song King of Hearts here.

This was the Father's Day video at our church from 10 years ago. Some featured in this video are no longer with us. Just another testament that life really does go fast.

Vin Scully calls Hank Aaron's historic 715th home run
Henry Aaron passed away today at the age of 86. I am certain I will speak more of Aron's impact on my life in my blog Crazy Uncle Dave's Sports Blog. At this moment I am transported to the evening of April 8, 1974 where I watched Aaron break Babe Ruth's home run record on televison.
