Wow!

What a week!  It's a short week and I feel like it has been one of the longest weeks.  Tomorrow we have kids from 8:30-12:30 then PTC from 1-9, but we have NO school on Friday! YIPPEE!  Not only do we not have school but I am going to my university's football game.  So excited for that! GO VANDALS!

It may be a short week and I'm tired but my classes have been going really well.  We just finished novels in both of my 7th and 8th grade classes and they have been handing in all their assignments.  Their assignments for the books were: plot summary, vocab words, and discussion questions for each chapter, a activity for each day, final assessment, and a plot map.  The ones I have received look awesome.

Also, our district tech guy put me on MyBigCampus so now I need to fiddle with that and start my 8th grade class on that next week. 

Hope everybody's week is going great!

Middle School Teaching

This is my second year teaching middle school language arts and health.  It is a really fun experience and couldn't imagine a different job.  I started this blog to talk to other teachers about what they do during the school year.  Enjoy!!
