Why did I sign up for a 3rd year? I have been asking myself this question a lot these last two weeks (because as you know, even though the first day of school isn’t until tomorrow, it took over 2 weeks of unpaid work to get ready for it). I’m already tired, super-stressed, and EXTREMELY [...]

Year 3. 8th Grade. Algebra. Stay tuned for more details and pictures but for now I’ll leave you with this…
So my second summer is drawing to a close. This summer, much like the last, was a great way to relax, catch up on much needed sleep, and basically remember was it is like to be a human being. However, also like last summer, I found myself bored. I’ve come to the conclusion that as [...]
Our students who take Art class always do a carving project where they carve a picture in a block of wood and then get a chance to paint it and gloss it over. They spend weeks on this project. This year, two students decided that they wanted to GIVE me their projects. I asked if [...]

Dear readership (aka Mom and Aunt Benita): I really don’t know why it has taken me so long to get on here and finally blog about the end of the year. I could say it was the necessary “detox” I needed to go through or just because the end of the year was really rough, [...]
So the EOG’s have already been given and retaken. I am waiting to get the retake scores before I share the results with you readers, but I can say that my kids did GOOD! But I wanted to share some pictures from the week leading up to, and the week of EOGs. My school actually [...]
I have done a lot of things this year and worn a lot of hats, but by far, the hardest job that I have had all year…being a mentor and loving a kid like he was my own family. I didn’t realize that I was signing up for this job, it sort of just happened. [...]
