Inconveniently Late in the Year

Well, I'm disappointed to report that it's been more than a year since I've written my last post.

Last summer, I felt like God was encouraging me to make a move to another school, so it was bittersweet when I applied for a new job as an ELA teacher & was offered a position at Gorzycki Middle School, leaving my Kealing kids in 78702. The good news is, my Kealing kids still email me, so I still feel connected, & they are doing so well! Gorzycki has been such a positive change for me. I feel I have learned so much from my coteachers & admin about classroom management, teaching style, & expectations for student-centered learning. I have also learned so much from my 7th graders here at Gorzycki too.

Unfortunately, I haven't been dedicated to recording the ridiculous things they've said or done, & therefore have missed out on posting the classic stories on this blog. Knowing this, I want to make sure it doesn't continue very much longer. I have made a promise to myself to begin collecting the quotes, events, & stories about my awkward little teens on a weekly basis so I will be able to post these memories from my first few years at Gorzycki.

Here's to the witty nuggets that have made my first year at Gorzycki an unforgettable experience!
