T-Minus 7 Days!

Hello!

Allow me to introduce myself!   I am Mrs. M., an elementary school teacher entering my sixth year of an incredible profession.   As August is winding down, the annual 'back-to-school anxiety dreams' have settled in nicely, visions of professional development workshops I've taken this summer are dancing in my head and I find myself busy preparing for another year and reflecting back on past memorable experiences.

Over the years, I have often shared hilarious and memorable stories from school with my family and friends and very often find myself saying 'I should write this one down so I won't forget it!'.   Many years, many students and many tales have come and gone and with back to school prep filling my brain, I thought I'd join the blogging world and share some with the magical world of the internet.

[Side Note: As to not exploit or embarrass any students, I will always refer to the lovely people who keep me loving my job as Billy and Sally.  These are names I often use in class when giving examples, as I've never actually taught a 'Billy' or a 'Sally'.]

As another school year commences, (7 more sleeps!) I plan to share entertaining, touching, funny, occasionally frustrating and hopefully inspiring tales from my past and current experiences in what I consider one of the most rewarding jobs in the world!

Thanks for reading..... now back to figuring out how to use my new label maker! :)
