11th Grade

I recently transferred from the middle school up to the high school to teach 11th grade. What an amazing difference...

I taught middle school for five years. During that time I have learned the art of selective hearing, the cryptic deciphering abilities necessary to read various middle school writings, energy coping skills and techniques. Although my time spent in middle school was fun, greatly appreciated and a definite learning experience; I didn't know what I was missing.

This high school thing is great. I can finish a sentence without someone yelling out. I don't have to speak to kids about silly things they have done or said. The only reason I have to place someone in the hall is to make up a quiz.

Okay, okay... I know. This was only my first week. Things could change...

But here I am teaching Macbeth- a dream text... Reconnecting with students I haven't seen since they were 13! This first week was a good one. I am so excited to continue.
