Here We Go!

Back in action after taking a year off from blogging! Why? I thought you’d never ask! Full disclosure…last year was rough. As always, I started the year excited and quite optimistic that it would be my best year yet! The first full week of school started with one of my precious babies as the first student in ISS. I should have known…

My Room Set Up for 2015-2016

  
It seemed as if everything that could go wrong did. Don't get me wrong, I loved my kids, but there were a few apples in the bunch that were making things far too sour for my taste. Luckily, my teammates were amazing! Seriously, the BEST in the business! It took a while for my kids to learn “how to school,” but we all made it through. Alive. I believe that is what most people would call a success!

Welcoming My New Scholars!

I’m proud of my former kiddos! They adapted well during the marathon known as standardized testing. My test was one of the last the students took after testing for 3 months. Not only did ALL of my students take the test for the first time…it was all computerized! Talk about giving a girl a nervous breakdown! All is well. To my amazement, over 80% of my students were at or above grade level! <insert happy dance>

The summer flew by…kinda. I was absorbed in learning. I am proud to say that I’m officially Gifted and Talented certified. I didn’t enjoy going through the process…the summer is NO time for classes…however, I’m happy I finished! I also attended a few PD sessions provided through my district and….drum roll, please…had my first salsa performance with my team, Con Sabor! I was ubber nervous, but didn’t fall OR pass out! Again…winning!

My Favorite Display!

Just finished day two with my new kiddos and I’m excited exhausted! My new bunch seems like they know what’s up! I’m super excited to see how the year unfolds! I think we've managed to convince the kids that middle school isn't a scary place! Let the learning begin! 

Is it too soon to say that Year 10 will be the BEST yet??? Go Bobcats!
