I recently realized that I have now entered a new realm within the world that is known as school. It is the realm of the teacher. It requires me to multi-task, remember, and perform miracles on a level that I didn't think a human being could possibly function. However, I find that I truly love being a teacher. The comments from kids alone are enough to keep me coming back to work. For example: "Ms. Pittman, I know where there's a room in this school that's full of light houses."....don't ask. Anyhoo, it has been an eye-opener. Let's just say I'm reeeeeeally glad I work in the district I do.
Aside from having bronchitis and a sinus infection, things have gone pretty smoothly the past couple of weeks. (And yes, I'm sick....again). Well, except for the fact that my mother and I had the most irrational fight I believe I have ever had, and it was me that was the irrational one. sigh. Not my best moment. Don't worry, I apologized like a good daughter should.
Well, I guess there is only one thing left for me to do, and that is to make another list. This one will be about things that I love about school (*clearing throat*):
Sharpies
Post-it notes
Dry erase boards and markers
Walking in the halls when everyone else is in class
Writing on an overhead
Hearing the question: "Can we please read?"
Hearing the phrase: "Oh...I get it."
Seeing students smile (in a good way) as I teach.
Sigh. The End.
k, bye.
