"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Thank Goodness for the Red Dot Boutique

If you know about Let's Play Music then this post will definitely make more sense to you, but I thought it was funny. I love the way that Let's Play Music teaches the dotted quarter followed by an 8th note rhythm. Such a hard thing to explain to kids normally, but LPM makes it soooo easy. This week was the week when we pulled out our bullseye and arrow feather to learn what our new Indian Rhythm looked like.

Me: So what do we shoot with our arrows and pull our bows at?
Class: (blank stares)
Student: Ummmm, a deer?
Me:(I quickly change the subject as I am holding up my little target) Anyone know what this is called?
Class: (blank stares)
Me: It is called a target.
Student: Oh yeah, it looks just like that store, except it isn't red!
Me: Exactly!---Anyone know what the center of the target is called?
Class: (blank stares)
Me: It is called a bullseye
Class: (blank stares)

One out of two ain't bad. Now if only I can get Target to change their name to Target with a Bullseye in the Middle.
