Thougths on the 1st month...

Wow...can you believe that it is October already! That 1st month of school flew by. Here is what I have seen so far...let me know what you think!

8th graders - To me it seems like you guys are ready to learn. It is great teaching you guys & girls; you know how to have fun and learn at the same time. You also tolerate your crazy teacher; which is nice of all of you:) I have a blast teaching American History and I hope that you are having fun in class and are learning something! We have so much more to cover and hopefully you will gain greater insight into the formation of our country.

11th graders - I must admit I was nervous with you guys coming into the year...I don't know why, I just was. Boy was I off! I absolutely love this Junior Class! It is great to see that you guys actually think! I mean, you guys & girls are more than just pukers... you don't just want to get facts and puke them out on a test. I feel that you guys actually want to think about the information that you are given and form opinions and ideas from that info. That is so rewarding for me as your teacher. The other thing that I love about you guys is that any out of class drama stays out of class! Thank you for respecting me enough to drop your garbage at the door and coming in ready to learn. I appreciate that.

Okay, so that is what I see from the front of the class...what do you see from your seat???

Let me know.
