Mrs. Samantha Weaver has taught Kindergarten before and although 19 students seems like a lot of kids in one room for anyone else, but she's got it under control. "It's a little much for the four days, but after that it works great." I couldn't help but wonder what the kids thought of school, and what did they want to learn at school so I just had to go and ask them. I wondered if they would talk to me at all, but Mrs. Weaver said, "Oh, they are a talkative bunch. You won't have any trouble at...
Dani Norling is a Montana girl from Helena and this is her first teaching job, but she loves Big Sandy. "I loved the first week. It went by so fast. It was awesome." Dani teaches the 5th grade and has 11 students. I asked her what was her top priority and she said, "The biggest thing for me is building relationships with the students. Getting to know them, because, I don't think, especially with kids, you can't help them unless you get to know them. I want the children feel comfortable with me,...

It was the first week of school and the younger kids were learning the etiquette for visiting the cafeteria. The teacher walked with them and p...
Q: I am tired of hearing spiritual people talk about the right way to live and then they live like the devil. My grandparents were wonderful people and while I am not of the same faith they were, I could always count on them to tell me the truth. But I don’t see this lived out among many today, especially leaders. Why is this? A: From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham Actually many people, regardless of spirituality, tend to talk one way and live another and it is something to guard against. Not too many years ago, honesty was the h...
