First year of teaching

This year has been a crazy year! I cannot believe that i taught an entire year without having a mental breakdown, kill something, break a pencil (yes i am being a tad dramatic). I have had a an amazing class who have changed my life. They are a sweet, amazing, brilliant group of students. I was so very blessed to have had them as my first year class. Yes, there were times that i wanted to call it quits, but in the end, the lightbulb went off and all was right in the world. I love that no matter what class you teach, there will always be diversity. I have has very shy individuals and very extrinsic individuals; they are so funny and sometimes i just had to stop the lesson and laugh. The one thing that I truly did love, was that i learned so much about American History, geography; as my students were learning, i was learning. I am truly grateful for having such an amazing job and work with such an amazing group of people. I had an amazing year, so ups and some downs, but overall, this was an amazing first year of teaching and I owe it all to my fabulous students. For their end of year gift, I made them a video, unfortunately it is too big to upload, so here is a glimpse #Teamawesome! WAY TO GO 5TH GRADE!
