Quick Note about my
job: It’s basically a cross between a teacher and a camp counselor. In addition
to teaching three classes of biology and journalism, I have a “crew” of 8 kids
for whom I’m a mentor, leader, big sister, and all that jazz.
Basically, it’s the
best job in the world.
Alright, so yesterday was fun. I guess the boring part was the classroom rules, the syllabus, and you know, the same thing you do every single year of your grade school career?
Just so you know, not a good life decision to wear white pants and sit in mud.
Please pray for my pants tonight.
just kidding- you have much more important things to pray about.

The fun parts:
Sorry for the messy room- It's never really clean.
Enter white jeans.
1. Nervous selfie-ing in the morning.
2. Greeting the kids. Every morning, we form a soccer-mom tunnel with high fives that the kids run through. It's a great way to energize the kids in the morning and pull some of the quieter kids out of their shells!
Our tunnel looked a lot better than that one though:
We're so cute!
3. One of my kids, when asked by another teacher, said that my class had been her favorite of the day.
cue heart melting.

Oh shoot. Did I just hashtag on Blogger?
I don't know whether to feel like I'm venturing into unknown territory or disappointing a whole lot of potential blog readers.
4. Crew partner, Michael. He’s basically my best friend
ever. We have yet to take a picture together, but it will happen soon.
5. Cooooookies. Made these for a staff meeting tomorrow.
Just call me Suzy Homemaker.
Just kidding- don’t. All I had to do was break the precut
dough apart and throw it in the oven without burning myself.
And I succeeded. But hey, you win some, you lose some.
Remember Birthday Cake Pancakes?
Things I learned:
1 Minnesotans are the nicest people. ever.
Here's proof.
They're also great because they invented bundt cakes.
2. Actually teaching validates all the tedious hours spent lesson planning.
3. Skipping is dangerous. One kid almost got a concussion today.
