Funny...

So I read this the other day when I was working on my new website for my students & parents.  I wanted to put this quote on my "blog profile" there but it contained too many characters...go figure.

I laugh every time I read about it but I swear it applies to so many professions not just the ones listed.

If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job.  ~Donald D. Quinn

I love it...especially the part about having different needs and some who don't want to be there...

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year all!

Kinda sad it got here so quick...my winter break is officially over!!!!!! We had snow for 2 days in December before school was out so we lose our workday for January 3...(super sad face) I've had to go in to the school this weekend to do work to make sure I am all ready for my new beginning.

I have my mind made up that I am going to be the absolute best teacher I can be.  So with that being said it's gonna mean that I am going to have to put in some extra work during the week/weekend to be beyond prepared for what's in store.

I need to make some heads turn at my school so I've created a new website for my kids & parents to access so we will see how this goes.  Wish me luck and if you have any ideas please feel free to leave em'!

Ciao'
