Home Visits and XM Radio

As a part of my job I am required to visit the homes of every child in my classroom. This week is the week I get to enjoy this fun aspect of my job (I hope the sarcasm is coming through). The week of home visits is a hard week on everyone in the classroom family. The kids are excited to have the teachers come to their homes, and there for the two days they are at school are CRAZY. The parents are stressed because the teachers are coming to their homes, and feel they need to clean the whole house, even though we only ever see the living room, the kitchen, and sometimes the children's bedrooms. Without fail every house we enter smell of clean agents. The teachers are stressed because they are trapped in a car with one another for two days straight, looking for and sometimes getting lost trying to find the houses of the families. Because of all this, the music played in the car can either make of break a situation. Thankfully this year, due to my wonderful father, I will not have to listen to the same CD or horrible radio, I get XM radio! You name it and we get to listen to it, and I am hopping this will help the trials and tribulations of our home visits go much smoother.
