Homecoming Week

So this has been a great week at school. This kids have been pretty wild but we have had lots of fun things going on. This is Homecoming week so each day has been a different "Spirit" day. The teachers and students have really gotten into it and everyone has had a great time participating.

I also gave my 1st reward party. My 5th period History class is all 8th grade girls and they are amazing! They always get their work done and make my life more enjoyable. So to reward them, we had an Italian lunch on Wednesday. We were studying Italy in history so we decided to incorporate that theme into our cuisine. The girls went above and beyond with the food they cooked and it was amazing! I enjoy being able to reward my students for good work and good behavior. This has also made my all boys class want to step up and act better so that they can get rewarded.

Other news:
It has been extremely hard for me to juggle teaching so many different classes, extra curricular activities at school (my 8th grade students built a float for the Homecoming parade and since I am and 8th grade sponser I have been helping them), my husband and son, housework and college work. I stay extremely wore out the majority of the time but I am keeping my head up and looking forward to the reward in the end. I know having my Masters is going to make it all worth while. I have also fallen in love with teaching and wouldn't trade this profession for the world. It honestly doesn't seem like work when I wake up every morning. I truley enjoy spending time with my students and knowing that I am making a difference in their lives. 

Anyways, hope all who read this have a fabulous weekend!!

Ah! It's almost FRIDAY!!

YAY! IT is almost Friday!! Plus it is a long weekend! Can't get much better than that! I had a pretty good day overall. My main "problem" is my 6th period History class because it contains all 8th grade boys. To make matters worse, they have 5th period P.E. , so they are extra hyped up when they enter my room. I spoke with their football coach today and he is handling my disruptive ones. This is an answer to my prayers!! When some of my guys caught wind that the coach was going to handle my problems, they were practically in tears! I feel a V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!! I will update and let you guys know if it solved my problems. I sure hope so!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
