Big Questions

Good news, I can blog from school. There are lots of sites that the school's network blocks, but my blogger is sliding through......

Right now there are some big questions going through my head. Why am I a teacher? I want to make a difference, but is this the way? I thought I knew the answers, but this week is testing me. Testing me real good. I am really hoping this gets easier. Not too easy I am not afraid of working or challenges. I am just thinking that there are some challenges that I don't need to go after. Does that say I can't do this or am not a good teacher? I dont know the answer to that.

My happy place in the classroom is a painting an elephant riding a bike. I think it is from the book Babar. There was a lot of junk in this classroom when I took it over and I found it in the closet with a bunch of posters and students work. I decided to put it up next to my desk. An elephant with a crown on a bike inside a yellow 8.5" by 11" picture frame is making me smile right now.

not enough words right now

One week done. It has been wild. Most of you probably couldn't believe what happens everyday at my school. Maybe I am being over dramatic and its not that bad. One week and less than 5 fights. I haven't directly been called too many cuss words

I have a lot of work ahead of me but I am excited. I am hoping after a few weeks I can start putting in less hours. I used to ride bikes, I think, and that was a lot of fun.

This is really worth a watch. Taylor's radness is pretty clear form this video he made. It is also really rad that through this he didn't loose the footage, his bike or camera.
