If someone asks what my career is, I respond, "Learning how people learn." I have been a teacher for all levels and handicaps of Special Education, English/ELA grades 7-12, as well as each grade level of elementary. I just love the fun of learning and seeing the students advance. I am from California, received a Masters in Special Education from Chapman University, a B.A. in English and Art from Mount St. Mary's University in Los Angeles. I have been teaching in the Inland Empire, as well as the High Desert of California, since 1994. The MzTeachuh blog I started in 2011 brings a privilege to participate in the online community. Cultivating the Melanie Link Taylor Learning Garden and Wildlife Habitat keeps me grounded and empowered to share the wonders of nature with my students.

All American Cheesy Jokes and Serious Thoughts
Hurrah for the red, white and silly. And Garfield has just the light hearted touch we sometimes need.
Try not to turn each of these jokes and riddles into too much of an opportunity to teach, though with younger children, you might have some 'splaining to do, Lucy.
Teacher: Where was the Declaration of Independence signed?
Student: On the bottom.
Teacher: The Declaration of Independence was written in Philadelphia. True or false?
Student: False. It was written in ink.
What did Paul Revere say at the end of his ride? I've got to get a softer saddle.
And just to be teachery, don't forget Longfellow's adventuresome poem, 'The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.' It's so cheesy, kids love it.

| Embarrassed someone saw my crack. |
 |
| Keep in torch! |
What did the visitor say as he left the Statue of Liberty? Keep in torch.
What did one flag say to another--nothing, it just waved.

| 'What kind of tea do Americans thirst for? Liber--ty. Ha ha.' |
Now for a serious thought. The greatest founding father, in my opinion,
was John Adams.
He supported all citizens, and did not believe in slavery, not a bit.
He and his family had no connection with slavery at all. He argued in
the Continental Congress for the abolition of slavery, foreseeing the
schism it would cause in a new America; which it surely did in the Civil
War. He and his wife Abigail supported integration in their home
town of Braintree, Massuchusetts, in the local school. John Adams had
the education, brilliance and insight to see that the colonies needed to
empower all the people no matter what; he worried that the British
would treat the American colonies as they had Ireland. He was humble
enough to recommend Thomas Jefferson be the compiler and writer of the
Congress' thoughts, but historians know it was Adams who was the prime
thinker. He was an innovative diplomat, a President who would see the
big picture, and a faithful and loving husband and father. I think the
latter should count for a lot. Thank you, John Adams, for taking care of
baby America.
