Holy smokes. It's the end of August already. The summer flew by way too fast. I can't believe school has started already. Yikes. Time to plan lessons, grade papers, write tests, and teach. This year should be fun:
1- I'm at a new school... in Lindon. Which means my drive to work is only 10 minutes. Love that.
2- I have 7th graders this year. They (hopefully, and at least for now) aren't quite as jaded as my 9th graders were last year.
3- I only teach 2 periods. That means the amount I will be grading will be significantly less. Bonus.
4- I get to teach fun books like Holes and The Lightning Thief.
5- What can I say? I love teaching. Kids are so fun. I think I have the coolest job ever.
(Please excuse the lameness of my title. I seriously stared at my screen for 15 minutes trying to come up with something creative and witty... but, as you can see, I was seriously lacking in those areas.)

Those lucky 7th graders!! You will be one of their best gifts this year.

I just found my answers! Hope you love it, I know the kids will love you.
Good luck! Are you subbing or anything on your off days? If not, I say go you! I would love to be part-time. I'm excited to read about how things go. 7th grade is SO fun to teach. I have 6 7th grade classes, and I'm excited (even if repeating lessons that many times does get old!). Can't wait to hear your stories!
um, what does jaded mean? also, i'm sorry i could not help you think of a better title either. but at least you posted! bonus.
Hey! I'm also teaching the Lightening Thief . . . but to Honors 9th grade (it is way too easy for them, I know. But I can't fight the curriculum map). Want to share ideas? :)
Are you @ OCJH? That's where I did my student teaching! L. Lister was my cooperating teacher!
It's always nice to have work so close, didn't you have to drive a long way last year? I bet it's especially nice considering all the construction that started this year.
