First Week and Exam Results!

I survived my first week of Kindermusik classes!  I also attended my first day at a preschool where I see nine classes over three hours (15-20 min each).  Whew!  A few of the studio teachers got a photo together.  Then Friday, I got all three exam result emails within minutes of each other.  Passed and Accredited!  Feels good!

Germantown Festival

 We attended the longest running festival in Germantown!  It was the 51st anniversary of the Germantown festival and it was so fun!  There were craft vendors, live music, carnival rides, food trucks and our favorite, the annual Weenies Dachshund race!

Corndog

Pickle pop anyone?

We wore our Germantown shirts!

This was so fun!

Derrik tried his luck riding the bull

Hail Storm!

 A normal day can easily turn into a hail storm???  Welcome to TN!

Last Exam Finished!

 I finally finished my last Kindermusik exam to get licensed and I'm so happy that's over!

Exam 1 and 2 complete!

I have Kindermusik exam videos 1 and 2 complete!  These exams require that I am videotaped teaching (no pressure there, haha) specific lessons to specific age groups.  I have one exam left on 9/5.  Classes begin at the studio on 9/11!

Extra large cheat-sheets off camera are nice

Cameron turns 22 on the 22nd!

We got to watch him open his presents from us via facetime and wish him a special day!  He had an early birthday party with Joy and her family, his young adult group celebrated him and his roommates and friends threw a small party for him as well!  Joy also bought him LA Galaxy tickets so they could go and enjoy a live game.  

Kindermusik Teachers Party

Some of the Kindermusik teachers from the studio came over on Monday to hang out and swim!  It was our first time hosting people and it was so fun!  Also got to attempt creating a charcuterie board for the first time.  Yum!

Brother's Coffee

With these two living in different cities now, I love that they still make time to go and get coffee together! And bonus points for documenting it for your mama!

Cameron's Asia trip

Cameron had an amazing trip to Asia and had lots of photos and video to share!  He's creating a documentary which will be available to view later on. I'll keep you updated on that!
