    Oh Puberty, Where Art thou?

    As you know, I am currently teaching a grade 7 class. I had a really good day today–for the first time since entering their class I finally felt like a real teacher and not some random lady with big hair who has invaded their classroom. They turn to me for help, and they are also beginning to let me get to know them and are sharing their work and interests with me. It’s pretty cool. It also means that we are becoming “closer” as they accept me as their teacher… but also proximity wise as I often sit with them to assist them in math (…ha) or whatever they are…

I’m hoping that I’m on the mend and that after another good night’s sleep (and more lovely lovely anti-cold drugs) that I’ll be good as new tomorrow. *fingers crossed* It also helps that I have something warm to look forward to–the Hubster and I are planning to head south with my family in a few weeks! We are off to sunny Kissimmee,…
