I get an "N" for 'Needs Improvement'

Yes, report cards have come and gone. Parent-teacher conferences flew by as well...now it's time to count down until Thanksgiving Break! (38 more days!)
Things are going well in CO, my kids are finally falling into the routine (after 41 days of school) and they are finally
starting to understand that I will only talk when no one else is talking.
Hint, hint, zip it!


(Change of subject.)

I do find myself wanting more though, which scares me a little. I've only been a teacher for 2.5 short months and I'm already I'm thinking about what else I can do. Unless you consider switching grades a promotion, I'd say the teaching profession is lacking something...
Sure we earn more money each year, but I know that won't be enough for me. It's odd to think that already I have my dream job. Most of my friends are struggling to figure out what they want etc and here I am. Settled. When you think of it like that, it's funny-I've already accomplished the goal I've had since I was seven. It's frightening and yet inspiring-

I think maybe it's time to check out some grad schools. I need another goal!

  1. Look at you! It is true though....look how far we have come! It's hard to believe that I am really a teacher in Houston, TX! I was just telling Lisa that at the end of the day I sometimes wonder what I taught my students. I know I taught them and they learned, but it does feel like something is missing.....but what I don't know! Thinking principal in the future?!?!
