Hey, Miss At...

"Hey, Miss At..." it's the beginning of some of the most unfathomable sentences I'll ever hear. I can't believe I am in my seventh year of teaching! I also can't believe I am three years into marriage with an amazing man I met through this blog. I've taught junior high, high school, 4th grade, and now I'm in 6th grade! Teaching is a ton of overwhelming work, but it's the moments that I post on this blog that show how much I absolutely love (or sometimes loathe) my job. Enjoy!

Haven't even left the house and I can't tell you how many times I've had to reapply my makeup because I'm in tears. Time to face my students and tell them that differences of opinions are okay, but hatred is not.

Me: *points to plotline* How many of you have seen something like this before? Student: YES! At the hospital!

Mansplaining

Just because one “mansplains” loudly and aggressively, it does NOT make him intelligent nor accurate. I would not allow this behavior in my classroom, so why should it be considered for our country?

My sister is in the hospital about to pop out my nephew, so I called my dad, and this is the conversation that ensued...

Dad: *answers phone* Labor and delivery!

Me: Hey! How are things going?

Dad: Slow.

Me: Any updates?

Dad: [Some friends] just brought us some food.

Me: That was nice, but what about Seester?

Dad: Oh. Here, you can talk to her.

Where's My Cane?

Me: *to students from another 6th grade class in mine for the afternoon* Make sure you get out your homework and work on something quietly.

Students: Mrs. J_________ didn’t give us any homework today!

Me: Bet you’re glad you have her as a teacher and not me! My class has work to do.

Students: No way! You’re super cool cause you’re only in your twenties!!

Me: *turned 30 on Sunday*
