Song of the Day: "Music Sounds Better With You" by Neil Frances

---

My day started with a hot shower and "Music Sounds Better With You" playing on my bluetooth speaker.  With this combo, I was bound to have a killer day. If you have not heard this song yet, then please bless your ears right this moment. You'll be shimming those shoulders and bobbing your head in no time. 

The next ingredient to my "cloud nine" day was the construction and wearing of a fun and funky outfit. Today I wore my wide legged, high-waisted, multicolored striped pants. The stripes vary in width and the yellow and lavender stripes complement each other in an unexpected way. I adore them. I paired the linen pants with my black, mock neck, body suit. For accessories I had my black pumps, red lipstick, and my yellow fabric hoop earrings. It was an easy outfit, but it was a show-stopping outfit. 

My day continued to improve as I stepped into each of my classes. My favorite class today was with the sixth graders. They are so fun to be with because they are not afraid to be silly. I walked into their class singing and they joined right in. I continued to sing the agenda for the day and they loved it. So, I kept going. I sang the lecture for the remainder of the class and the students sang back their responses. It was entertaining on both ends and I think they are going to retain the hell out of my lesson on "Possessive Pronouns vs. Possessive Adjectives".

​For possessive pronouns we highlighted the idea that they "stand alone" and for adjectives they always need a partner. I would then question them with examples, and they would sing their responses. At one point, I shorthanded "adjective" with "ADJ" and I said, "Hey, that sounds like when you're up in the club and you're requesting a song....like, 'Aye, DJ!'". They loved it. Each time we came across an "adjective" they said, "Aye, DJ" and pointed to the imaginary DJ in the booth. 

The success of that class in the middle of the day powered me through the rest of my work day and into my leisure time. I wrapped up my faculty meeting, grabbed a quick dinner from King Soopers and ate it with the sunset, hit Earth Treks, and now I am ending my day sipping a peach tea.

It was a good ass day.
