Several years agothere was a study of the “happiest” states. Before I even read the report I guessed that Louisiana wasthe happiest state. And I wasright according to the study! People from Louisiana love their families, their friends, their food,and they LOVE to have a good time! Maybe the rest of us need to take some lessons from them because they’vegot it figured out for sure!
And I was happy tospeak at the LA Early Childhood Conference last week! Here are some students from LSU who came ready to sing,dance, and learn.
I also got to singwith some precious children in Alexandria. Take a look at this cute shirt that one class waswearing. The teacher explainedthat her families didn’t have enough money to buy expensive school shirts, soshe asked them to go to Walmart and get a package of three white T-shirts. Each season they make a different shirtto wear on field trips. Superidea!
Another thing Ilearned has nothing to do with early childhood, but it was so clever I have toshare it with you. I hope younever drop your cell phone in water, but if you do remember this. Empty a small bag of rice in a zip bag,place your phone in there, and zip it up. Apparently, the rice will absorb the water and your phone will be goodas new. See, you learn somethingnew every day!
