“Miss Won! Today at recess, I was writing with my pencils (holding two giant Ticonderoga pencils)… so my muscles got strong AND my brain got strong!”

I made the mistake of not keeping a blog during my first year of teaching. Things got rough, busy, etc. but I don’t want to let that become an excuse this year! I really want to record all the little moments that make/have made being a teacher such a wonderful experience. That way, I can look back and remember the parts that make me feel like, “YES! I am actually doing this right!” This job life can get so stressful, but isn’t that the way it always is?
Little MK in my class is adorable. His arm “muscles”  are probably the diameter of a quarter (HE’S SO TINY!), and his big eyes are probably even bigger than his…
