It has been a while since I have blogged on my page. Since then, I have undergone many changes outside of teaching math to my 6th grade classes. My students - they have been great. Each day, I look forward to coming to school and they help me forget about all of the other issues in my life. There are so many days that I wish I could teach another period of class (sounds strange to most other teachers), rather than go on to other things in my day. So many times this year, I have ducked into another class during my prep time, and with the approval of the teacher in the room, stayed with the students to learn about whatever subject matter it is. I am catching up on my grad work and it is very therapeutic to do it over this long weekend. Anyway, with so much turmoil going on throughout the world, I have to be thankful for whatever I have and the safety of being in the the United States.
