Hey there :)

how interesting. wow 8th grade! i couldn't do it. my first teaching job after grad school was teaching 7th and 8th grade french and 8th grade english for a quarter. it pretty much destroyed me. now i work in an alternative high school teaching french and electives--this year i've been teaching senior quest which is the final senior project/paper/presentation without which they cannot graduate. so hello to the pressure! but i also teach a leadership class and i've taught all kinds of other things. i love it. but i'm so excited to have the year ending. is your school part of the year round thing? i have cousins in corona whose kids are three months on and one off. oh yay for the shop talk! anyway. i'm so glad we met--i kind of keep marveling at the smallness of the community and the world, really!
talk to you soon!
*hugs*
