I forgot I even had this! It is interesting to go back and look at everything I used to write. I think I had a blogspot account, too, but I can't find it. I have a confession to make. I have been thinking about Eric a lot and it is killing me. I have been saying it for 3 years now... I will never love someone like I did/do him. I love Brandon... ( Read more... )

Let me tell you... these four days can't go fast enough. Today I am feeling sick to my stomach for some reason, but I can't go home since I am out of sick days. We are not supposed to pack up our rooms until next Tuesday (the last day) but I have no students for the rest of the year so I am going to go ahead and start packing tomorrow. Brandon is ( Read more... )

I only have 7 days of school left! I can't believe I am already through my first year of teaching (almost)! I absolutely can't wait for next year. I will be teaching one grade and one class... as opposed to two grades and two classes. Next year I have 6th grade communication arts. Of course I can't wait to relax this summer either. I will be ( Read more... )

Well, I landed a regular ed. teaching position (yay!). It will either be for fifth or sixth and for any of the 4 core subjects- cross your fingers for fifth grade math. I am super excited about having my own classroom and doing what I am truly passionate about. There are only 29 school days left in this year and most of them are testing days. For ( Read more... )

Have you ever been so happy you wanted to cry? That is EXACTLY how I have felt the past couple of days. Every little thing is going right. I don't even know where to begin ( Read more... )

So I had an interview today for an opening in the school I already work in. I'd say it went pretty well... I should know by the end of this week if I get the job (which would double my pay). Cross your fingers for me ( Read more... )

Four perks to working in education: Summer break, Fall break, Winter break, and Spring Break. Tomorrow is a half day and Spring Break starts from there. I can not WAIT for a week off. After break there are 41 school days left in the school year. It seems like few, but in reality it is eight weeks and two days. I hear they fly by, and I can only ( Read more... )

There is a lot of wedding talk going around school today. Two teachers I work closely with are getting married tomorrow and everyone has been gabbing all day about the details. It got me to thinking of my own wedding ( Read more... )

The teacher next door to me is crazy... but in a good way. She teaches MR students in a self contained classroom. MR = mentally retarded. And yes, that is the correct way to diagnose a child with their abilities. Anyway- she has this student who is in LOVE with his flannel shirts (remember y'all I live in Lincoln County). Whenever this kid gets in ( Read more... )

This is the question. Right now I hold a position for Learning Lab which is an extra class designed (by me!) for students who do not qualify for special education, but still need a great deal of help beyond the regular ed classroom. It is a fun position that is flexible and not quite respected by all the teachers in my building. However, my real ( Read more... )
