Okay, so I was a little excited that the 2008-2009 school year came to an end. This meant that some of my less than savory students will be passed on to another history teacher to be responsible for. However, in the past 2 weeks of school, I would see my my former students and yearn for the past year--YES!, yearn! I feel a little nostalgic every time these newly-transformed 8th graders would call out my name, or when they would walk down the hall in a care-free, joyful, idealistic group--clearly eager to become the mature upperclassmen of LAAMS. **wistful sigh**
The New Kids. Ah. These brand new crop of kids are definitely sharp and have loads of energy to burn off. It's only been 2 weeks, but I am so tired. They are nothing like last year's kids as far as behavior is concerned, but these guys are so much more of a challenge. Let's just say they keep me on my toes...fingers crossed! I hope things will go great with these 7th graders and that I learn as much from them on how to be an effective teacher as they will learn from me on how to be historians.
