Hi everyone. My name is Roxanne Wright and this is my education blog. I am a 22 year old licensed preschool teacher, who is currently studying Elementary Education and Theater in college. I have worked as an Arts & Crafts Director, Children's Theater Director, and an Environmental Educator. This blog is full of my educational dreams, inspirations, and tips. I would love advice from parents and educators so I can one day become the world's best teacher. Thank you so much.

Thanks to “Brave” writer and co-directer Brenda Chapman for speaking out on the Merida makeover! In a statement yesterday to the Independent Journal, Chapman wrote: “There is an irresponsibility to this decision that is appalling for women and young girls. Disney marketing and the powers that be that allow them to do such things should be ashamed of themselves.”
“I think it’s atrocious what they have done to Merida. When little girls say they like it because it’s more sparkly, that’s all fine and good but, subconsciously, they are soaking in the sexy ‘come hither’ look and the skinny aspect of the new version.

Merida was created to break that mold — to give young girls a better, stronger role model, a more attainable role model, something of substance, not just a pretty face that waits around for romance.”
“They have been handed an opportunity on a silver platter to give their consumers something of more substance and quality — THAT WILL STILL SELL — and they have a total disregard for it in the name of their narrow minded view of what will make money. I forget that Disney’s goal is to make money without concern for integrity. Silly me.”

Yesterday, I read a few Todd Parr books to my kids.
Then, we made our own It’s Okay to be Different class book. The kids made their own page and I wrote their ideas down. I immediately called them to the carpet and read each page to them, making a big deal about how each child was an…

Love this! Personally I don’t like the word Boss and would change it to something similar starting with B, but would be something I would use in the classroom
