This was my second year presenting to the Dragons even though they were in a different building last year and under a different name &#8212; Durham Elementary.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nI had a little scare on the way there when I began warming up my voice and quickly realized that I was loosing part of it! I had been talking to schools the week before in Kansas City and now my voice didn&#8217;t make any noise in higher registers. Luckily, I was very careful how I spoke the first day and Cheryl from the front office fixed me up with some hot tea that really helped. Thanks, Cheryl! I made it through both days just fine.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nI enjoyed meeting all the 3rd graders and seeing all the 4th graders again (I met them last year when they were in 3rd grade). We had a great two days and I even showed a couple of 4th graders how they could teach themselves to juggle. It&#8217;s easy, really. Ask me at my next show and I&#8217;ll show you, too!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThanks to Stacy Kristynik and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.walnutgroveelementarypto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Walnut Grove PTO<\/a> for inviting me back. Thanks to Mrs. Fangue for the use of her classroom. Thanks to Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Cobb for helping me set up. And an extra-special thanks to the 3rd &#038; 4th grade students at Walnut Grove Elementary! Keep roaring, Dragons!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.southlakecarroll.edu\/walnutgroveel_default.aspx\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSCN0824.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"DSCN0824\" width=\"500\" height=\"235\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-719\" srcset=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSCN0824.jpg 500w, http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/DSCN0824-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; I just spent two lovely days at Walnut Grove Elementary in Southlake, Texas &#8212; home of the Dragons!
