Ms. Amy's Class
2-3rd grade
Summer 2008
I have been referred to as Ms. Amy by these munchkins for the past two months. I apologize for not writing a blog in over a week, by the time I realized Monday turned to Saturday I had clocked in a 50-hour work week; it was the last week of summer school for these guys.
I don't know if I'll be a teacher when I grow up.
A 2-3rd grade teacher?
Probably not.
But I have learned a few KEY lessons along the way:
1. Kids have to go to the bathroom six times a day (no joke)
2. "Cutting" in line is a sin and the root of 75% of the day's fights
3. Hangman NEVER gets old
4. Acute angles are cute angles
5. Hannah Montana has been dubbed the new queen. Long Live the Queen!
6. Grammar is weird
7. You can't play Heads Up 7-up with 5 students... well
8. All children are sad that I'm 21 and STILL not married. Poor Ms. Amy.
9. "Dave likes to wear dirty underwear." -Alvin the Chipmunk
10. The marriage between loving to teach and loving the students makes thinning patience, grading papers, and long days worth waking up for
This summer has been good for unplanned reasons, most of those are linked to the notion of growing up. It's coming fast like a storm, but soft like a home.
I love July,
Ms. Amy
