SHORT & SWEET


 
I opened my school email today and to no surprise our FCAT student scores were AMAZEBALLS.  Which is a great way to end the year ~ Happy Students, Happy Staff, Happy Administration :)
 
 
 
I have officially closed in on my 7th year of teaching!  I can't believe I have been in the "real world" for 7 years.  I have learned so much over the years and am extremely fortunate to have met the most amazing co-workers who I can now call my friends! 

I've completed my 2nd year teaching 6th Grade at SOMS and I truly have found the best school, students, co-workers, Assistant Principal, and Principal EVER!  I am so much happier at this school and  it is a good feeling to have found a job where I am finally respected as a teacher!  Being a teacher is not an easy job...and for those of you that think it is...you are ignorant.  Some people can BARELY handle there own kid(s) so to be able to handle 22 in which case are not yours is not easy!   I have had terrible days, I have cried, I have yelled (at students, parents, and co-wokers- LOL), I have wanted to give up and quit, and I have sworn to never have children!  On the other hand, I have smiled, I have laughed, I have learned how to do the "Stanky Leg" or the "Harlem Shake", and I have truly cared and loved other people's children! 

This is a little easy to write as I know it is officially summer vacation!   BUT in just 8 weeks I will start all over learning 160 kids names, personalities, backgrounds/home life, and try to somehow teach them a little Science! 


Never seen them so happy  #lastclassoftheday
Starting off the summer with dinner and drinks with my co-workers and celebrating a 50th birthday for one of the ladies!  Two of my co-workers at Tiki picked up my Saturday double tomorrow....so this night might get WEIRD!
