Me - Ashley

Welcome to Rainbow Stuff, cyberhome of... well... me! I'm Ashley - a 25 year old elementary school first grade teacher from Kentucky. I met my husband online and I love him, strawberry smoothies and my one-eyed cat, Pouncy. This is my blog, personal website, and general collection of my bits of randomness. Rainbows rule. More?

I’m going to be famous!

Well, probably not, but you never know. :)

On Monday, my principal came to me and asked me if I would mind being videotaped. The assistant superintendent was going to bring a video crew to our school on Wednesday and that they were going to film various classrooms. She said she wanted me to be videotaped because I am just “so good.” I said okay. I didn’t think it was going to be a very big deal.

And then all of a sudden it became a big deal. I found out that this video crew is making a video for my city to use on the city website and in recruiting. Only one elementary school was chosen for the video - my school. Only three classes were going to be videotaped: my computer lab, the music room, and a third grade class.

I got pretty nervous about the whole thing. Tuesday was election day so there was no school. I kind of worried about the whole thing all day long. I didn’t know if I should do my regular thing or plan some fantastic lesson. I decided I’d have the kids work on PowerPoint again since they enjoyed it so much.

Turns out, it wasn’t really a big deal after all. The man was in the computer lab for about eight minutes. I think he filmed me helping a student, but I really don’t know. The kids were like, “That was it?!” Apparently, he was in that third grade class for about three minutes according to the teacher.

Maybe I’ll be famous? Heh!

    You’re nice, kind and helpful :) That’s more than enough to justify why you’re chosen for the video, heheh. Congratulations for being chosen! Soon you’ll be famous in your city since they’re going to air that video on the website… and maybe it’ll get some airtime at the local station as well! Woots!

    You know what, working with kids is not easy, and you’re so good at it :D kudos for being such an amazing teacher.

    Hey you never know, you could quite possibly become famous off of this little videotape! Some of these celebrities nowadays have become famous and you look at their “beginning stuff” like, “wooow okay.” LOL so you never know ;)

    Its still cool no matter what, that you were chosen - so a big congrats on that! Must mean you are great at what you do, so good for you!

    How neat! I bet there will be plenty of people that watch that video. Maybe they will be debating on moving to that school system, or debating on if they want to become a teacher. Also, I never learned about PowerPoint until high school.. I wish I would have been taught about it in elementary school! Nice job :grin:

    That’s so awesome. My school asked me to be in their commercial. They filmed me, and then never used the section. I’m sure everything will look great.

    HAHA! Even if you end up in the cutting room floor… the fact that you were chosen speaks volumes of how you are perceived at your school/workplace. So congratulations! :wink:
