Um, I have to admit that I was saying the same things as I watched the video. Watching that made me so nervous! Next time tell the kids to let it thaw out a little more before trying to cut it up. :)
I couldn't help but notice that her fingernails are beautiful.
Oh my gosh, I know! Aren't they? One of the other teachers and I always talk about this particular student could be a hand model.
