Summers out for School

I am one of the many people who loves getting new school supplies and it is that time! I don't officially start back until next Tuesday but, boy am I excited with all other kiddos! I am not going to ramble about how much I love my job, but I do LOVE my job! I decided to get my more excited about my job, I thought I would write about the things I love about being a 6th grade teacher:

- June and July (just a joke, well kind of)
- Middle School Philosophy
- Teaching writing(one of my favorite things to do....okay not so much journaling but I love writing reports and narratives).
- Feeling almost every day that I am making a difference.
- Kids, I love all ages but my favorite to teach is 5th and 6th grade....I stop when they start gaining attitude:)
-The challenge of making learning fun at a age when school is only for socializing.
-Learning with them.
-Assuming at the beginning of the year that I will not like certain students and them proving me wrong! I leave then end of the year having an individual appreciating and love for each student (there may be one or two I struggle loving as much).
-Using my passion for reading.
-Sharing a passion for literacy with colleagues and 11 year olds.
-Teacher appreciation week.
-Planning Hour
-Decorating my classroom
-Expo Markers
-Kids finally "getting it"
-Kids who want to work hard for me
-Kids who work hard
-Watching 5th graders turn into 7th graders
-Telling a parent how much I enjoy spending my day with there child.
-Constantly letting students know how proud I am of them!
That is enough for now, of course with any career there are negatives, but to start out this year, I would like to remind myself of the good!
Don't be surprised when I blog about the reason I hate my job! That should come around March or April!
