Go check out her adorable MUSTACHE!
So obviously I am teaching summer school! This is a big deal in my district and new teachers {I just finished my second year} usually don't get hired for it. It is a NCLB summer school. I got hired as a math teacher last year for summer school and I LOVED it... Math was a "special" so the homeroom teachers get a prep so I had a class for 30 minutes and we just played fun math games! Seriously, I was getting paid to play math games with dice, cards, dominoes, and such!!! :)
Back Story: When I started my college, I wanted to teach middle school math so I took all of my math classes so I could be Highly Qualified... Once I was in the teaching program, I HAD TO intern in a first grade classroom and well, what can I say? It was like love at first sight!!! I loved the curriculum and the kids and the LOVE! Haha!
Then, I never went back to middle school... ended up student teaching in first grade, got my first job in Kinder and then now in first!
I hear you on how expensive traveling can be - especially with 4 kids lol! The furthest I can go seems to be the swimming pool three blocks over this year! Since you are teaching summer school, maybe you'd like the 4th of July freebie I just posted on my blog :) It's for math and involves dice!
