CONGRATS!! I'm excited to hear that you get to stay at your school! 6th grade would be a fun and exciting place to be - Let me know if you need help cutting out laminations, construction paper, or anything else!!
Mandy! Congrats on the teaching job :) That's exciting. I just found your blog and wanted to comment. I just got a job with my same school (which they are moving to the new school--Lakeview in Provo). I'm excited about it. I'll be doing 1st grade again which I love, so it will be great! Congrats!
congrats mandi! that's fabulous news... I LOVED 6th grade and your kids are gonna love it too!
Congrats Mandi! My teacher gave me that list "How you know you're a teacher" when I was student teaching. It made me laugh so hard because it's all so true. I would love to teach 6th grade too. It brings back good memories of etiquette dinners, soda pop formulas, mummies, maturation....ok not so much maturation, but the other stuff is great!
