Sad Blog...

Wow....I am almost finished with my third year of teaching and my first at this current school. Since I/we set up the blogs as an outlet and an assignment I am realizing how much I am going to miss this class. Remember that only four of you are still going to be here next year....but the rest will and are missed.


Jaxson: You have impressed me in so many ways and your ability to see the good in most things is refreshing. Please, PLEASE make the most of the talents you have and continue to find joy in the little things.


Matthew: It has been my pleasure to teach you, your helpfulness and jokes are a wonderful addition to this class. If only procrastination wasn't your downfall...yet you are awesome either way.


Samantha: I don't feel as if I know as well, but what you have added to this class, especially with your insight on the blogs and in small groups, is something to be proud of and to continue. You can go far, you just have to believe in yourself.


Zayda: I can see you going far, as long as you have a goal in mind. Keep up the hard work and the good communication skills, don't let anything get in your way!


Emmanuel: You are a great kid! Trust yourself and use the leadership skills that you posses! I have enjoyed teaching you (not yelling) and hope that your futures successes are all that you want them to be.


Bryana:Your patience is amazing and you also have a bright future with whatever you choose to do! Your writing still shows this amazing talent! Best wishes!

Kayla: You are truly gifted in so many ways, learn to accept yourself and so what is best for you...NO ONE ELSE! PS let me know when you want to grade papers! Thanks for your insights 3rd period.

Kristina: Your cellphone will work when you shut it off! :P Best of luck on your medical journey, thanks for the laughs.

Sarah: Your grace and poise are great qualities to have, remember them and work hard to reach your goals. Thanks for taking this class!

Michael: You constantly impress me with your soft heart, remember its okay to stop, think, and reflect, it will get you far....not that I see you having that problem anyway! Thanks for always processing out loud!

Ellie: You are a creative writer....you proved that over and over, remember to take time to smell the roses, and I still think your ketchup idea needs to exist, its just so much better for dipping!


Wright: You were a great addition to this class and were missed once you left! You have amazing gifts and added a spirit like nobody else to 7th period! Keep working hard!

AND........ I expect you all to comeback and finish the book you all never finished! Harry the Fairy demands it!

Best wishes, and thanks for a great semester!

Slacker Teacher...

I am panged with the guilt that I have not been keeping up with blogging, and like anybody who is called a slacker there are reasons. Here are mine:

1. I just completed a 40 page research paper for my masters.
2. I have been working on many new school activities and my current promotions.
3. I have been working job 2 more than I want to.

As Kayla just informed me..."If I was 5 weeks late on my blogs, you would lay the smack down" She is right, (no Wright is right) but than again see above reasons. I apologize for the fact that I bailed on blogging...but be aware....blogs will no be coming like a banshee AND I EXPECT COMMENTS.
